I am trying to get started out in WLS and I am lost. Where do I start?
I am in Kentucky and have Humana National POS-Open Access. Interested in VGS. Has anyone here had surgery covered by this insurance. If so what were there requirements (6 month diet, etc.)? I'm looking at going to Georgetown for surgery. Thank you!
Just updating: My doctor's office sent off my paper work to BCBS Federal on 05 December, I was approved for my revision from Sleeve to RNY on Dec 14, 2017. My surgery was scheduled December 27, 2017.

Have anyone ever used golden rule health insurance for bariatric surgery before. Their a subsidiary of UnitedHealthcare, but alot if their benefits seems scketchy even though my broker keeps saying their valid and widely excepted, but yet he couldn't really tell me if there good on wls or not only he could say is I wont be able to get the surgery for 12 months if it's "pre-existing ". Well I don't know anyone who just became obesed overnight, soooo 
is this a self pay plan or employer provided?
It is self pay.
in the nearly 9 years I have been a member of this forum. I haven't seen many self pay plans that cover was.
I would insist on seeing the plan coverage itself that says it is covered.
