I had the Lap-Band surgery in 2010. I had 2 adjustments under my all plan. My new plan is HMO-Illinois, will they pay for my future adjustments. The doctor's staff stated that I needed a referral for my adjustment.

What Blue Cross Blue Shield coves depends on the policy one has. Policies differ and some will not cover procedures like lap band surgery.
AnswerOf course.
Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal does not cover the cost of plastic surgery. Any plastic surgery that is done to solely improve the physical appearance of a person is not covered. if the surgery is due to an accident or the result of a body part becoming altered from a disease or surgery than it will be covered.

The only way that Blue Cross Blue Shield or any other health insurance carrier will pay for a weight loss surgery is if it is considered medically necessary in which you have a condition that impedes your ability to function, this is an elective procedure that will most often be denied
