I have Anthem Blue Access, and they were VERY quick to let me know that they did NOT cover WLS, and wouldn't cover it under any circumstance, even if it was medically necessary (which mine is). Needless to say I was very disappointed. I know that's not the answer you were hoping for, but that's what happened when I researched it.
