I am very interested in having WTS suergery. I am concerened with the trial of getting to the operating table. The stories with insurance companies are scary. I was wondering if anyone has CBSA PPO-Oklahoma insurance and how trying the journey was? I have yet to talk to my docter about anything he is not very concerned about my health- the high blood pressure,type 2 diabetes,hypothyroidism,sleep apnea. I am in the process of looking for a new doctor now. Are there any PCP in Oklahoma that specialize in treating obese related health problems that can help get the surgery approved? Thanks for any help. : )
My 3 suggestions are:
Call your insurance company directly to find out what they require--PPO Oklahoma is your netwrok, they just approve the doctors that can be used. call CBSA and inquire about their policy on weight loss surgery & what they require
Call a Weight Loss Surgeon & find out any sucesses in your particular insurance ggetting approved. I know the ones in the OKC Metro area all have seminars--Drs Pearce, Floyd & Gornicheck @ Edmond, Dr. Keith @ Norman & the Drs. at St. Anthony...These are also invaluable for people researching surgery. Contact their offices for more information.
I know that the one in Edmond covers all types of surgeris, their risks, outcomes, etc. You can reserve this by clling the office @ 341-5100...
I really am not sure about the other surgeons
