Group for WLS Legislation in DC
Hi,
I was wondering if there's a DC legislative group for WLS? I understand that our neighbors (MD & VA) have something on the books stating that if a physician deems it medically necessary, the insurance company is required to pay for the weight loss surgery.
With that said, I want to find out whether a legislative action group has already been created in DC (similar to the one in MD - http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/MD_WLS_Legislative_Action_Committee/).
Also, is anyone aware whether a bill has already been submitted to the D.C. Council?
Thanks for you help,
Fran
