Please help me find out what to do PLEASE my insurance company does not cover the surgery.

VSG

My Insurance is BC/BS Care first HMO Plan...Maryland

I have called every insurance company in Maryland and they all said they wont cover it and Atena said my BMI AND WEIGHT WAS TOO HIGH!!! LOL I need to be 250. I'm 5' 5" and 300.

I'm also 25 years old.

Thanks to anyone that post a reply!

Did you check your benefit plan summary? I thought they covered it!

Most insurances cover VSG as long as your bmi is 50 or more. Call your surgeon to get the cpt code then call the insurance company with that code instead of saying VSG

So if I do all of my paper work and submit for approval...will the possibly cover the surgery if its not a covered benefit on my health insurance?

I'm not sure any of us can answer questions about YOUR insurance but your insurance company can. Just call them up and ask them about weight loss surgery and what is covered. The number should be on your card.
