Obesity Help Support Group Leader
Hi! :)
I applied for Medicaid Managed Care a couple days ago. I have a list of plans I can choose from. My main concern is joining a plan which have high acceptance rates for Bariatric surgery, and as well, their requirements not being too strict..."too strict" as in requiring several comorbidities(I don't have any even though I am 200 lbs overweight!). I was supposed to have Roux-en-Y last year but found out my BCBS plan only covered hospital costs so the procedure cost would land fully on my shoulders. Since then, I've lost about 50 lbs on my own and I'm just beyond ready to have this procedure done so I can begin living a healthy life in a healthy body! I have decided to have the gastric sleeve done. Anywho, here's the list of possible plans...please help any way you can, if you can :) Thanks!
Affinity Health Plan
Fidelis Care NY
Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York (HIP)
HealthFirst PHSP
HealthPlus(an Amerigroup Company)
Neighborhood Health Providers
UnitedHealthcare Community Plan
