Hi Cupcake,

I just asked my husband because he works for BCNM & he said you'd have to call Customer Services to find out because each company that purchases Blue Care Network for their employees also have the option to purchase different types of rider plans. Since you work for the State, he thinks it will be a covered benefit but you may have to do a 3 month documented diet plan depending what your BMI is. Each company purchases different plans thru BCN so if you call Customer Service, they can let you know in detail what may or may not be required of you!

He works for BCN, but we have Blue Cross insurance & my 6 month documented diet requirement was waived because my BMI was over 50. I was just sleeved on July 16th. Good luck to you! I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised at what your plan may cover!

Every policy is different. Contact your employers benefit department and ask if your coverage include weight surgery. I work for university of chicago medical center with bsbcil ***, bluss cross told me I have no requirements... just need a letter from my pcp and the surgery would be covered 100% and for specialists visit just my co pay.

Good luck too you, I'm sure that you'll be able to find a way to get this surgery.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
