?Question about Insurance?

I'll try to make this breif and not confusing so bare with me lol

Me and my husband recently finally got jobs *yay* and my husband is going to get BCBS of Alabama for our family (him, me and our son)

I have been wanting to get gastric bypass and so now I am finally taking the steps on seeing a doctor and get this ball rolling. But I was just wondering with my husband just now getting the insurance September 2010 would this cause any problems of trying to have the surgery in 2011?

The issue that I have heard of is more whether or not obesity related surgery is approved on his plan.  Once you have the insurance, there typically is not a length of time you have to be on it to have a procedure.

Good luck!

I agree with Maria. Just because you'll have ins that does not mean they will cover bariatrics.

If it does cover bariatrics each plan is different on their requirements.
