I don't understand this???

I am still new on trying to figure out how to get approved for insurance.  My husband has insurance through Cigna and I called them today and they told me that weightloss surgery is not covered on the plan that his employer has. I have considered signing up for other insurance companies but how do I find out if they cover it or not, before signing up? I am really wanting this weight loss surgery REALLY REALLY BAD !!!   I will appreciate any info someone can give me. Tabitha  5'8" 297 pounds

Tabitha,  I have no answers for you, but I just wanted to say good luck, and hi neighbor.  I live in Fordyce, and would love to be a close support partner.  I had my surgery in Feb of last year w/Dr. Baker, and have lost 120+ pounds.  Give me a yell, and we might actually know each other. Hugs, Rhonda D. P.S.  Your husbands name is not Rusty is it??

Hey,       I would love to have someone to lean on during this situation.  No my husbands name is Mark.  Congrats on your weight loss!!!!  It looks like I am not having very good luck on the insurance coverage.  Do you know about how much it would cost out of pocket?

I went through this exact same thing. I am so sorry to tell you that I didn't find not one company who actually covers the surgery but every single company I talked to actually penalizes you for being overweight. I finally had to go the Working Disabled route and what an uphill battle that has been. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Maybe you can have a look at the Insurance forum here on OH.  Browse through a few pages of posts and you can probably find what your looking for. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/insurance/a,messageboard/board_id,5363/
