I have the same exact situtation as you do. I had group and now I have BCBS, also. I had to sign the same exclusion. Which is so not fair. Because my 1st child was born through emergency c-section. I pushed for hours. I think they should cover it if it is medically necessary. My doctor has recommended me to have a 2nd c-section(which I did in August). Right now it has cost an additional $7,000.00. Not covered was the surgery, assisiting doctor and anesthesia. But they will cover an epidural in natural childbirth...what are we paying for?? I am so upset!! My advice to you is let your water break, then your doctors will have to do an emergency c-section(bcbs will only cover it in an ER situation, not scheduled). Which I will do for my next kid. Best of Luck!! I just wanted
you to know, it sucks and I know how you feel!!
