Call them directly to find out your coverage.  They should give you a list of what they require for approval. 

Also, you should be able to go online to their website and print a copy of the policy manual.

My manual states : EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

For the treatment of obesity or morbid obesity, including but not limited to Mason Shunt, banding,

gastroplasty, intestinal bypass, gastric balloons, stomach stapling, jejunal bypass, wiring of the jaw,

as well as related office visits, laboratory services, prescription drugs, medical weight reduction

programs, nutrients, and diet counseling (except as otherwise specified in the Contract) and health

services of a similar nature whether or not it is part of a treatment plan for another illness. This

exclusion also applies to any complications arising from any of the above.

So once again this greek to me? Does this mean they may consider it or it just ain't happening?
