Once a procedure is turned down by Medicare, BC/BS will usually pay for at least part of it, in my experience.

Yes. Once Medicare turns something down ( for example my therapist, who opted out), BC/BS will pay a good percentage of the therapy cost. The nuisance is that you have to always submit to Medicare first, but after that has been turned down, BC/BS always pays all or part of whatever the charge is. At least, that has been my experience.
