Best Answer

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois does offer coverage of bariatric procedures. There are very strict medical criteria that must be met in order for any of these procedures to be approved. However, if your policy is through your employer, they may have opted to exclude coverage of these procedures. This is not BCBS denying coverage, it is your employer.
