Coventry Healthcare of Georgia
Hello everyone-
I am a new member looking for some help and advice. I am 28 years old and weigh 270lbs. After several years (most of my life really) I have finally decided that surgery may be the best treatment for my struggle. I contacted my insurance company and was a little confused. The representative I spoke to said that my plan does not cover weight loss surgery but after asking several other questions she said it would take something drastic to get approved. When I asked her elaborate she wouldn't.
Does anyone know anything about Coventry and what they will and/or will not cover?? I'm pretty desperate right now and would love to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks!!

I have Coventry, Missouri, exclusionary policy for any WLS. I was self pay for VSG. I was told by the program, CVTY that is that they would pay for SE of obesity, strike, loss of limb due to DM, etc... but nothing wellness related eg WLS. They only offer /$100 for Weigh****cher program. Such a pittance. I even work for Coventry!! Good luch and God speed. Maja
