Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 Since I know this is a very important current topic on this list, I wanted you folks to know we just secured an approval for a DS procedure from a northeastern U.S. Blue Cross Blue Shield entity. (I cannot reveal which company as part of our resolution) They are covering under an " out of network " benefit for the DS (otherwise offering my client full in-network benefits for a RNY with a highly-thought-of provider). They are relenting on the " experimental/investigational " basis for denial. Since many of you are fighting that battle with various Blues and other companies, I wanted you all to take heart that your battles can be won. Good luck to all who find themselves fighting that fight.
