Hi,
This is what Premera Blue Cross says:
Page 30 - Heritage Plus 1 - Standard - 1000016 - January 1, 2003
Obesity Services
Treatment of obesity or morbid obesity, including
surgery, and any direct or indirect complications and
aftereffects thereof; services and supplies connected
with weight loss or weight control, except for health
education and wellness classes or programs specified
as covered under the "Health Education, Community
Wellness and Smoking Cessation" benefit. This
exclusion applies even if you also have an illness or
injury that might be helped by weight loss.
Doesn't sound very good to me.
So I need to figure out which bariatric program has the shortest Medicare waiting list huh?
Thanks.
