Title: BCBS
Post by: CR on February 15, 2015, 03:12:23 PM
Anyone have BCBS of North Dakota?  I saw something that like only their university or some kind of student policy covers it but otherwise it doesn't?  Anyone use it?

It all depends on the individual policy, not the insurance company itself. Some policies cover it, some don't.

Even if the policy covers certain surgeries there may be an exclusion on trans surgeries, don't get your hopes up.

Thanks but my insurance isn't even on there, plus its Ohio so they are behind in things. Will have to wait until insurance kicks in at my new job. Probably not until the end of this year.

You could ask to review their policy to see if it is one you want to have.

I wasn't posting it for you.  Just showing what I'm talking about.  I have the choice of working in several states and a part of that decision includes these insurances.
