Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Hi all. Does anyone have any knowledge (printed statements, etc) that BC/BS is actually doing this as a nationwide thing and not just in CA? I haven't heard anything from other states/groups, etc. BC/BS of OR doesn't cover any WLS so that's rather academic, but what about other states who've been covering? I totally doubt this is based on one case. The " malabsorptive-ness " of the DS doesn't really have anything to do with Deb if that's the one people are referring to. I'd be more accepting if they were now denying malabsorptive surgery based on a few dozen who've died due to malnutrition. blessings~ becki ===== Becki, near Portland, OR BMI 50-ish, age 42 pre-op DS. hoping to get approval through Aetna Traditional Choice (fighting 'investigational' denial) Consulted with Dr. on 3-13-01 psych ok, nutrition ok, beckeye_58@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
