Hey John! Thanks for responding.
I was told I would have to cough up the money for the Nut as well. Guess we're not as lucky as Debbie...

Hello KayyyBeee, I also have the empire plan and had surgery on 09/21/10 and so far the only thing that has not been covered for me has been the Nutritionist 
, everything else I only have had to pay the copay.
Good luck on your journey.

I live about an hour north of Albany, little bitty place called Cossayuna. The kinda place if you sneeze as you go through you miss it. I had my surgery in Albany.
Most of the Empire plans are similar in coverage. There may be limits on how many times you can see the psych or nutritionist. So far I haven't hit any walls in that respect.

Topic: Dr. Hoffman- Buffalo?
I met dr. hoffman for revision consultation from the band to sleeve. He didn't do my original sleeve. I like him very much and am scheduled for a revision 7/11.
Has anyone had him do their sleeves? Especially revisions?

Hey Debbie!
Thanks for the info. I've already called Empire, found out there are no exclusions or waiting periods involved with the surgery under the plan. I will have to call tomorrow to find out if my nutrition, psych, and apnea evals are covered.
I'm in Westchester, Mount Vernon to be exact. What about you?
