Hi Leslie!

I too have Badger Care Plus and I was approved for surgery in one week. They do require a 6 mo supervised diet and two comorbidities. I went to the Bariatric Institute of WI in Waukesha. I had Dr. Wu and he was wonderful. Everything went great and I am now on the loosing side with no complications or problems. His staff does everything for you so the process is very easy and stress free!

Check them out!

Good luck with everything!

I know you have to have co-morbidity health issues for them to condider payment.  I have high blood pressure, pre diabetes, and osteoartheritis and degenerative disc disease.  They told me that none of these were life threatening because I have some control with medications so they denied my request.  Fortunately I have other options.

Good luck.

my bariatric surgeon, Bobby Wu and his staff said it is easiest to get approved through childrens community care plan which is like dean depending where u are from and also abri but childrens community is good because u wont need referrals to all the appointments and testing you will need prior to submitting for preauthorization.

I bought a chewable Caltrate with calcium and vitamin d at walmart. I bought a chewable bariatric advantage vitamin online. I take both of them so I can get the extra calcium.
Happy New Year!!
