I have BCBS PPO TX and our policy (through the school district that my husband works for) has a very hard exclusion. I ended up paying for it myself as we knew going in they wouldn't approve it - and sure enough... not coverd. No way, no how.

    Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing and would do it again even if I had to pay for it again :) Plus I didn't have to deal with the insurance headaches and stuff you guys did LOL
