FEP BCBS

If your Enrollment Code is 105, you have Standard Coverage.

Thanks! Standard it is!

Any chance you would mind telling me how much out of pocket you had to spend?  The numbers seem to be adding up and I am just a bit curious.  Thanks.

I'm also Standard FEP105. The deductible for the hospital was $250. The surgeon's was about 10% of their fee. Then I also had the anesthesia part. The pre-op physical and labs costs. I had surgeon on 4/18; I got pneumonia so that added some costs of about $300, but so far out of pocket not counting the pneumonia stuff, I've spent about $800. Straggling bills just showed up the other day.

I was recently approved for VSG and am scheduled for June 27. I had to follow a three month supervised diet. No problem. Thanks dizzylee for sharing costs as I've been trying to figure out how much some of my out of pocket expenses might run.

Everyone on this post that has FEP BCBS please tell me who administers your plan. For example, BCBS of Montana.

I am asking because I live in MD and my BCBS plan has denied me because my BMI isn't 50 or more. I am at the point where I have sent my Appeal to OPM and I wanted to know all the other BCBS that approve VSG for BMI less than 50.

Thanks.

BCBS Montana administers my Federal plan, I was originally denied as I had not met the three month supervised diet. Dr's resubmitted after I had done the diet and I was approved. My BMI is now 38, however, I have several co-morbidities (HBP, Diabetes, high cholesteral sleep apnea...), these-co-morbidities added to my case.
