BCBS federal anyone?

Anyone know how much this statement in my benefits brochure will cost me for a two day hospital stay for gastric bypass? "You pay 30% of the plan allowance for agents, drugs and/or supplies administered or obatined in connection with your care."

So let me get this straight... You submitted 2013, 2014, 2015 and ONE of your weigh in was under 35 BMI and they still denied you?

Yes, they still denied me. My doc is doing a peer to peer later this week and I am going to bring in proof of many years of 35 and above to see if that helps. Will let you know how it turns out.

That would be awesome! Good Luck! Prayers sent!
