Allison, I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with that...is your dr wanting you to take it? Call, hey, call anyway You can never be too sure! AnnMarie

Thanks for the reply, but I somehow managed to delete the message without reading it... please re send the e-mail... I am anxious to hear what you had to say... thanks Richard

I had zero problems with Pres, I work for the state of NM and its not excluded. What you should stay aware of is that companies can have the same name of insurance but have different plans--so Aetna at one place may allow WLS but not at company B. I've not heard of Pres having any exclusions from the people I know that have it.... I also think that Medicaid will cover it Good luck! AnnMarie

Richard, What insurance do you presently have? What have they said? I think that ALL of them want to DENY right away, probably to make sure that you really want and need to have the surgery. With a denial, you DO have anappeal processs, so don't get discouraged. If there is an exclusion, make sure to look at the language. Obesity and Morbid Obesity are NOT The same. I was denied and after my first appeal and some letters from my doctors and a very detailed letter from me listing my co-morbidities and medications I was approved and got my surgery very shortly after. I am now ONE year post op and feeling better than I have in years. Best of Luck to you. Beckey
