OK PLEASE Answer!!!

I just recently received my benefits at work.  I work at the hospital where my surgery will be performed. Anyway I was wondering if ins. will deny me because I'm a new member.  I asked the bariatric coordinator if this would be a problem and she said " I don't think so".???  How long have you guys had ins. coverage before you were approved?  Anyone out there got ins. just to have surgery and did it work?  Any responses are appreciated!!

The bariatric coordinator isn't the person to ask this question to.  You'll need to speak with someone in the HR department or at the insurance company itself.  Some policies have a 'pre-existing condition' clause that is usually 18 months - so your obesity may or may not be considered pre-existing.  Don't rely on hearsay, go directly to the people who can give you the correct answers. Also - just a tip on writing subject lines for messages on a forum.  You'll likely get a greater response if you are specific with your question rather than something generic. HTH Pam
