Insurance question

Has anyone ever been successful in having Group Health to cover the surgery. Thanks, Tricia

Hi Tricia. There are a lot of us on this board who have GHC. Do you know about the Yahoo message board for GHC? OSSG-GROUPHEALTH-NW What questions do you have? Mari

Thanks Mari for the responce. I am not familiar with the yahoo site. My question is my insurance is changing in October to Group Health Options. At our insurance meeting with the reps, I was told that Group Health does not cover WLS period!!! This was a huge dissapointment to me as I have already went through the orientation because my former insurance was going to include the WLS in the new plan starting in October. My employer decided to change carriers all together. Thanks for any input you may have. Have a great day. Tricia

I'm in the middle of my second appeal to GHC. I'm a PEBB plan member and the plan excludes WLS. Please let me know, too, if someone has been successful! Keeping my fingers crossed.
