Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Robbie, I've had an ongoing battle with BC/BS of Ala. Apparently, their guidelines require that one be twice ideal weight (as determined from the MetLife height/weight tables) for at least two years. This is far in excess of the indications for weight-loss surgery contained in the NIH guidelines, which merely require a BMI of 40 or greater (or 35 or greater with comorbidities) and 100 lbs above ideal weight (measured by the NIH's tables). So I don't think the BC/BS guidelines would withstand a lawsuit. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to bring a lawsuit at this time, but I encourage you to do so if you're denied by BC/BS on appeal! Best regards, Jon in Tuscaloosa > > My name is Robbie and I am just getting facts about the surgery.
