Question:
Has CalPERS Blue Cross PERS Care PPO covered the Adj Lap Band surgery

Note: This question is about PERS Care and not PERS Choice. Has anyone been successful in getting CalPERS Blue Cross PERS Care PPO to cover the Adjustable Lap Band surgery despite the policy exclusion that covers: "Weight Control. Any program, treatment, service, supply or surgery for dietary control, weight control, or complications arising from weight control, whether or not prescribed or recommended by a physician, including but not limited to: a. exercise programs (formal or informal) and equipment; b. surgeries, such as gastric bubble, gastric stapling, or liposuction."    — Victoria Lani A.
