Don't know what is going on first they said sleeve is not covered. Then it is covered did all paperwork and it is not covered? Now it is covered I am confused. My employer said " I don't know" Good thing benefit person said she is going to try and find out hopefully monday. My doctor said $60,000 for the sleeve. Seriously, who can pay for that? Omg really, really , really. I thought it was much cheeper. Not including hospital stay. Seriously, Seriously, seriously ! I really trust this doctore but I am going to stay postive. Any information , anyone at all! I am suppose to have surgery July 3rd now my insurance company tells me 4 weeks before surgery they are not sure if it is covered.

How can it be that much when insurance pays about 15,000 I was told. Good luck on getting your approval

Well , I finally got approvaled and did most of my pre op testing today. Sonogram tomorrow, and camera down my stomach next week.

So was surgery finally approved? I hope so, you said you have waited a year.

:ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: You have NJ BCBS? I have the same coverage. Are you government employee? For the price your Dr. quoted you, you may want to seek another surgeon. My insurance covered everything.

NO, I am a city employee
