BCBS CoverTn coverage?
Has anyone had any experience with BCBS CoverTN PPO covering any of the bariatric surgeries? My boyfriend is interested in having it done, and that is who his work offers for insurance. I had United Healthcare Tenncare and it covered my duodenal switch 100%, but I haven't heard anything about CoverTn before. Any information would be great!

I don't know about CoverTN - but I had BCBS of MI (and live in TN so TN had to do the approval - weird BCBS network stuff).
My requirements were:
BMI over 40 or BMI of 35 with 2 co morbidities.

Have your BF call the company and ask about his particular policy. For me they were really helpful with the bariatrics, since it saved them money in the short term on diabetes drugs (I was spending at least 12k a year of insurance money on them). They paid the complete bill for my bariatrics but stiffed me on plastics.
