CIGNA PPO (NC) was wonderful to work with for both my husband and me when we asked for coverage for our proximal lap RNY surgeries. They approved us within three weeks of the surgeon's letter of medical necessity and did not require additional medical consultations, nor nutritional or psychological assessments pre-op. They even approved my anchor-incision panniculectomy and brachioplasty....no questions asked. I hope you have as great an experience! Best wishes :-)

All I know so far with BCBS NC BLUE OPTIONS is that they require a thyroid test, a nutrition CONSULT, history of obesity with in last 5 years, having a BMI over 40 or if you have a BMI over 35 you must have co-morbs. I just had my nutrition consult as the last piece and hope to know for sure for sure that I'm approved. But it's looking good so far.
