ct state insurance (SAGA)
I'm not real familiar with it...is it contracted through a specific health insurance HMO? Or is it the silver state card? I googled it and found this info:
Current SAGA medical assistance clients can call Community Health Network of Connecticut toll-free at 1-866-361-SAGA (7242) for information regarding covered services and referral to medical providers. Community Health Network of Connecticut’s website can also be helpful. (www.chnct.org/Member/sagamembers.htm)
Call Andrea and you can ask her too. She will know.
Based on this Obesity Help information, it looks like it is covered... http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/list-insure rs.php?State=CT&alphaPos=S.
Take a look at that page - you might consider contacting those members who used SAGA insurance to find out the behind the scenes detail about how they got it approved and what their criteria consisted of - ie, co-morbities, guided nutrition requirements, etc.
