It is self pay.

in the nearly 9 years I have been a member of this forum. I haven't seen many self pay plans that cover was.

I would insist on seeing the plan coverage itself that says it is covered.

Did you find something actually? I've had some experience dealing with Golden Rule, and I can say they're not the easiest when it comes to weight loss surgery coverage. A lot depends on the specific plan you have and what your doctor submits. Definitely get a pre-approval and stay on top of any required documentation--nutritionist visits, psych eval, etc. It's a process, but staying organized and patient helps. You might also wanna check trexis insurance, i had great experience with them in the past
