Insurance

Does anyone know anything about dealing with Community Care Insurance of Oklahoma for this surgery? I'm having to switch carriers on Jan 2005 and that will be my new one. Please post if you know anything about their position on this surgery. JUDY

Judy, Community Care, Health Choice and Global Health all have written exclusions for WLS or any other WL solution. Your only hope until 2006 is to get your testing & surgery done before 12/31/04. Good luck with your journey. Happy thoughts, Va 5' 3.5" 232/148/140? -84 pounds

Just curious about wen you say, " Your only hope until 2006 ......", does that mean she could find another insurance or is there some kind of mandatory insurance coverage that will take effect in 2006?

As a state employee, there are limited options for insurance coverage. All three as I mentioned above have written exclusions for WLS. So for state employees this surgery is not covered at all during 2005, baring intervention by the state insurance commission.
