  1. Exclusion question

    iwant2becurvynotlumpy posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
    I have BCBS of Louisiana and it says that weight loss surgery is an exclusion. We talked to someone at a seminar and they said that if it was an exclusion then more than likely it could not be over turned in an appeal. Has anyone found this untrue? Is basically my only option is to self pay?

  2. Insurance ? BCBS Louisiana

    iwant2becurvynotlumpy posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
    Hello, I am new here. I have been thinking about the LapBand for awhile and made the first step by going to a seminar about it last week. They took my insurance info and called today to tell me that under our plan that LapBand is an exclusion. I had asked them that if it was an exclusion if an appeal can be done but they said that if it is listed as an exclusion that I could forget about having them cover it, even with appeals. Is this true? What should I do from here?
