(some) BCBS covers Bilaterals...

[Guest guest]

For those of you with Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance, here is good

news.

BCBS of Georgia, and it appears a large group of BCBS companies in

some states, as of July 25th adopted coverage of bilateral

implantation. This doesn't mean 'every' BCBS plan in 'every' state

does, but it's good fodder for appealing to your own BCBS plan.

Showing other BCBS plans covering it should help convince the rest,

even if one at a time.

Here's the policy statements for BCBS in Georgia:

It's a good day for CI candidates and users.
