Hi I'm Ty I live in new Orleans Louisiana and I'm thinking about getting the lap band surgery but my *** bcbs does not pay for it do anybody in my area know of an insurance that will pay for this surgery??

Ouch, to having no band insurance coverage.

Yeah I'm getting the run around from my insurance company they are absolutely refusing to pay for it even if I switch to ppo.

If your job offers a different insurance you should call them first to see if they will cover it then switch. I work you luck

Hey my name is Anna, I'm new as well. My sucky INS won't pay either:( I'm getting care credit( medical credit card). I'm sure LA has to have something similar. I'm in Texas.

I spoke with my insurance company even if I switch to ppo they still won't pay for it. But I'm going to call Medicare credit and two other ones somebody has to approve me I was just diagnose with type 2 diabetes 6 months ago and I stay sick a lot I feel like this is an attempt to save my life

I wish you luck

I sorry your having to go through that. I know it's tough!!! I'm sure you can get approve for it! Sending you bunches of positive vibes!!!

I use to have BCBS and at that time if your doctor fought for you and it was medically necessary it could be covered. Have they tried to appeal?

Thanks for the support you all!!! Yes bcbs still will not pay for it even if it's life or death!!
