Insurance

Hi everyone'I was looking for some advice from all my new weightloss friends

I am newly divorced and my ex just remarried this weekend which means I am off his insurance in 30 days

I need to get insurnace and my work does offer it
I  just do not know what plan to choose

I have alreadfy had the surgery thank God  but I will need follow ups  and possible skin removal

I live in Mass. Is anyone familiar  with Health care in Mass

I can choose  BC/BS  , aetna, harvard Pilgrim a few others can;t remember the names

You input is greatly appreciated

Carol  -  I have a PPO with BC/BS and have never had any problems.  I have not had plastics so I'm not sure how they handle that end of it.  I have never seen a bill or been denied any claims.

Good Luck 

Carol

Hi Carol, I'm in the 'burg too.  We have BC/BS and MassHealth.  Never had any issues for coverage on anything.

My husband started a new job so  i had to get different insurance carrier I actually asked my doctor and that is how I chose. I was on bc/bs and now I am going on Harvard pilgrim.  Good Luck

My doctor told me that he has never had anyone whom he referred for surgery (lap band ) that was denied with pilgrim.  He did say if I had tufts than I would be in a difficult position.

I am so glad to hear this as I have just switched to Harvard Pilgrim and was starting to get worried about switching. Hoping to have surgery ASAP
