wondering about my insurance

I am hoping someone out there from Tn can help me out here. I am on Tenncare PHP and am planning to have the lap-band done. I will be finishing up my 6 month diet that is required and making an appointment with the surgeon that I have picked to perform the surgery next week. My question is, I know that PHP will pay for the bypass but does anyone know if they pay for the lap-band as well? I am thinking someone has told me they will but I'm not sure if I heard it right or not. Can someone please let me know?

Your best bet is to call the number on the back of your insurance card, and ask them directly. You may also want to check the OH State Insurance Board where you can read other peoples experiences with TN insurance companies.
