Question:
Has anyone been approved by BC/BS ( General Motors)Preferred Choice Plan?

Hello Everyone! I live in North Carolina and have BC/BS of Michigan through General Motors ( Preferred Choice Plan)/Traditional. I have my first appointment in December for the Lap Band and I was wondering if anyone with my insurance has been approved for the Lap Band Procedure? I have called BC/BS but nobody will tell me anything unless I have the insurance code and the nurse at my doctor told me they cannot give it to me until I've had my appointment.

I have BC/BS of TX Preferred Choice and I was approved with no problem. I went to my psych evaluation and my consult with no problem too. They paid for the visits and all I had to pay was my co pay. I was approved for the gastric by pass, but I have been told that the lap band would have been approved too. Good Luck!
