when i talked to BC/BS , they told me that for them to cover the surgery all depends on what procedure codes the surgeon tells them. They said that they can't tell the surgeon what to do, only the reverse. So, my deal is that I'll just tell the surgeon that it hurts like a bitch and it started recently. if he asks me about gear/pro hormones, i'll just say that I've had this since puberty and no to the gear. Hopefully, because I am in pain, that's a just cause for ins. to remove it..then once i heal..Back on the sauce baby! lol..
