Blue Cross of CA - or Blue Shield

Okay, I'm not insurance Savvy. I thought Blue Cross was Blue Cross but the surgeons office said I have Blue Shield of CA.

Does anyone know where I can find their requirements? I apologize if this has been asked before. I called and said I was approved but forgot to ask what my requirements would be.

I just Googled for you - here is a list of links to their policies. https://www.blueshieldca.com/provider/authorizations/clinical-policies/medical-procedures/policy.sp. The link for Bariatric Surgery showed a message to download Adobe Reader even though I already had it installed, so I just downloaded the document (right click & save) and opened it in Reader instead of in the browser.

You should still call your insurance company and ask specifically about your policy since some employers can opt out of Bariatric Surgery coverage on their plans.
