Hi. I just checked the BCBSNC MEDICAL POLICY UPDATES for JULY 15, 2014. This is what it said.... Requirement that patient be an active

participant in non-surgical weight reduction program for at least 6 months prior to surgery removed. I am sooo excited about this. I have met my deductibles and was going to be pushing it to get my surgery in before December this year.

What surgeon and hospital you using?

My surgeon is Paul Enochs at Bariatric Specialists of NC, he uses Wakemed Cary and Rex Hospitals. I haven't chosen - or been told - the hospital I'll be at, but was told I have to pay all my out of pocket stuff up front. I'm assuming I'll get a hospital bill following surgery, but everything else is paid up front.
