Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Is this sudden change in policy retroactive? What is the date that they no longer will approve the DS? When I called BCBS of GA last november, and gave them the billing code for the DS, I was told that they DID cover it at it was NOT considered experimental. I had my DS in late April and am waiting for the bills to start rolling in. Nothing significant yet. Am I going to suddenly be hit with a $40,000 bill? -- Claudine Raymo jovilea@...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 I would not worry about that. I was approved in April and had my surgery in May. Then in June Pacificare stopped covering the procedure. I dont think they can make you pay when you were told that you were covered when you had surgery.
