MHIP INSURANCE

Does anyone here have MHIP and know any stats on them and wls? I have looked on the Insurance Board and have not found anything....... heather j

Never heard of them. What does mhip stand for? Bonnie R

MHIP stands for Maryland Health Insurance Plan.

I am sorry I do not know anything about this insurance. How are you doing? By the way I saw your pics of your new do. I love you look so different. I love that corset too! Hugs, Cira

Cira... I am doing ok, thankx for asking. And thankx for the compliment on my new do.....it feels weird!!!! 16" is alot to lose, even though it is just hair! I read you are not feeling well......I hope it passes soon. It sounds kinda yucky....but I guess that is to be expected on some level after surgery, huh? Dont worry you still have not scared me! HUgs to you 2, Heather j

Hi Heather, I remember when I got my hair cut off going on 3 years now. I chopped off 18 plus inches and donated it to Locks of Love. I have to find a pic to show you how long it was and when I got the cut. I have the pics saved in a cd I have to look for them. You know after surgery it is like a challenge to know what will agree with the "pouch" and what will not agree. The thing is the food may agree with you before but one day bam not anymore. Plus even tho I think I eat slowly I think I forget and swallow too quickly and then pay dearly. I am glad I have not scared you. Hugs girl! Cira

Hey Cira!!!!! Yeah I dontaed mine too. Thats what I did the last time as well. It is a great cause and I believe if I can share joy with someone who needs a lil hope and happiness, then I can get over chopping my hair. It is hard to deal with initially tho.....I am still trying to figure out how to style this cut......but its fun tho...everyday is different! I bought these cute scarves today.....they kinda look like a fancy female do-rag. Since they are "girly" I know my hubby wont steal them....LOL! I went to a housing seminar yesterday....I am trying to buy a house. I pay way too much in rent for something I will never own. I am so excited!!!! So many new and fun things are going on in my life........I like it! Yeah, I have read alot of posts about the agreeing and disagreeing food issues after surgery. I feel better tho knowing these things. It is a bit creepy to think of all the changes, but I am ready for it. I know I will probably whine when it happens to me, but I think everyone is like that. I cant wait to get to a live meeting and meet everyone.... Hugs, Heather J

Well I could write a book about MHIP and it would be a sad one they do not cover any weight lose surgery at all. I am trying to get bypass surgery done and they were first plan i looked at and it will not cover nothing.

I have talked to a few people who have been covered by them. When I spoke to a rep from MHIP they said if it is deemed medically necessary then it is covered. But you have to meet all requirements. But as a state policy, and an individual policy, the law statute shoud apply.
