BCBS FL school district.

I have a friend who is a teacher and she has been told that her insurance does not cover WLS. Has anyone else appealed this or anything to get insurance to cover the surgery?? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

My aunt is also a teacher by the way* so as far as insurance for wls - I have to say its almost impossible to get one that covers her. However, I am a law student and am used to researching every new case and source I come across. So recently I had to write my assignment analyzing legal dodges and I found that it is possible to rename this assurance and move it to another article in such a way that wsl becomes assured.
