Has anyone had luck withAnthem BC/BS covering a band to sleeve revision in Connecticut. I meet the medical criteria, but am within 30lbs of my goal weight. I cannot get a straight answer from the insurance company.

Thanks - Mary

Anthem has very good bariatric coverage in Connecticut if the reversal is for medical reasons, then I am almost certain that it would be a covered benefit. Since, I don't know if you have individual or group coverage it is hard for me make any assumption.

I would suggest that if you request a care manager instead of dealing with customer service, he or she would be responsible ultimatly for approving the service if covered. It isn't required but it saves you from dealing with offshore customer service reps and they are a very good group of folks!
