Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Guys & Gals, Unfortunatly it is not always the insurance company that denies surgery. Some companies that you work for may have it excluded for their employees. So, you could have the same insurance as a friend but work for different companies and one may have it excluded, Still it doesn't hurt to try to appeal.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 A lot of it depends on if your employer has a written exclusion for the surgery. I have BCBS of TN which covers it; but my employer has a written exclusion to make the insurance cheaper on the company. Appealing it would have done me no good.
