Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hello, I have had no luck with my Blue Cross HMO plan. I decided to go to Belgium because I can't wait any longer and will try to submit the paperwork upon my return. Another resurfer, Michigandar Mike, just posted a message in which Blue Cross/Blue Shield covered his entire surgery(!) so there may be hope for us Californians yet. Best of luck to you, > does anyone know if blue coss of ca. has ever paid for resurfacing. > i really need the operation but have run into a stone wall with blue > cross. help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Where do you work? Since the Independent Medical Review in Cal overruled HMO denials, it may be the ultimate irony that only HMO's in Cal will be forced to cover resurfs. Which doctor works at UCLA (Amstutz used to be chief of surgery but no longer operates there - if he had, he would have been in my network.) Beaule has a second clinic there which I found out recently - so are you going to him? > > > does anyone know if blue coss of ca. has ever paid for > > resurfacing. > > > i really need the operation but have run into a stone wall with > > blue > > > cross. help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
