Where did you find that? YOUR specific benefit booklet? Online? Is there a date on it?

It's very possible that Regence covers the surgery, but your plan may have exclusions. If that's the case, my advice would be to talk to your human resource contact about seeing what they (the company you work for) can do about getting that removed.
According to the policy I found, it says as of 1/07 the procedure is approved. About 1/3 down the page, it gives the criteria for coverage.
