VSG on 05/03/11 with
CareFirst of MD Insurance???????

Does your employer buy a ryder when they want to cover this surgery?

I'm working with our broker and trying to figure this out.

According to CareFirst policy:

CareFirst of MD Requirements for WeightLoss Surgury:

Virginia plan members only: must meet either of the above BMI criteria or the following:
Weight at least 45.5kg (100 lbs.) above or twice ideal body weight as specified in the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Tables. (see Tables Below)

I blow away the Met Life Tables:

6'4" Large Frame = 181-207.

I am 6'7" Large Frame 340lbs.

I gotta get this done. I want the VSG but if insurance will pay I'll do what ever they will pay for.

Any help would be appreciated.
