bloody insurance again!!!:HELP:

I THOUGHT I WAS ALL SET WITH THE INSURANCE BUT LIKE MANY OF YOU 1/2 THE BATTLE IS THE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY THE OTHER 1/2 IS THE INSURANCE..I HAVE NOW DECIDED TO PICK UP TUFTS THROUGH MY COMPANY AND DROP CIGNA FROM MY HUSBANDS..CIGNA DID SAY THEY WOULD COVER IT BUT GIVING THEM MY FIRST CHILD WAS ON THE LIST OF REQUIREMENTS...ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE SWITCH OVER TO TUFTS TO HAVE THE SURGERY? ANY PROBLEMS? HOW QUICKLY DID YOU SWITCH AND HAVE THE SURGERY? THANKS FOR ALL YOUR FEEDBACKS..JZ

Hi There I have Tufts through my husband's work and I did not have any trouble with getting approved. I went throuh at Saints Memorial and they did all the leg work for me. Tufts does have standard requirements. Go to Tufts web site http://www.tuftshealthplan.com/home.php and do a search for Gastric Bypass Surgery. I got this for a link http://www.tuftshealthplan.com/providers/pdf/medical_criteria/obesity-adult-surgical_treatments.pdf and it gives an overview of coverage. I have not had any problems with Tufts & the only thing I was required to pay out of pocket was the usual $15.00 co pay for each Dr's visit & a $100.00 co payment for the hospital stay when I had my surgery. Good luck! Jenna
