    Hello Carrie. This service is covered by a number of our plans when it is medically necessary. I would recommend having your provider submit a predetermination of coverage to Blue Cross Blue Shield. We would be able to review the procedure code(s), diagnosis code(s) and your medical records to see if your plan would provide coverage. - Renee
