I've got BCBS as well. I'm insured in a rather large group (Burlington City Employees) and on that plan, there are two tiers. We belong to the higher tier, the "preferred" benefits...therefore a higher premium...BUT, everything, all pre-op tests, procedures, the operation, hospital stay...everything, was paid for 100%. All i've had to fork over is co-pays.
While I of course love BCBS, it all depends on the level of coverage that you have, relative to your company's negotiated coverage, as to how much dough you'll have to shell out. Hope this helps.
