Healthy Indiana Plan Plus - Lap Band

Hello all!

I'm new to this site, and I was hoping someone could answer some questions for me! I am applying for HIP+, because I want an insurance that covers WLS. I haven't been able to find much information about the specifics of what the plan covers though.

Is Lap Band surgery covered by HIP+?

For those who have gotten WLS with HIP+, how much did you pay out of pocket? I'm just trying to get an idea of how much it will cost.

Thank you for any help with this! (:
