Shout out Companies that Have WLS Coverage in Insurance Plan
Most people don't know that although an Insurance Company will pay for Weight Loss Surgery, they don't know that the company you work for also has to carry the policy in their plan to cover their employees.
I've had the unfortunate cir****tance of working for several companies that don't carry a policy to cover weight loss surgery. I am about to change companies for this reason.
With that said, I wanted everyone to shout out and list the companies that they know of that have weight loss surgery coverage included with their policy plan.
Below is a list of employers who I know currently cover bariatric surgery:
* Starbucks (Even for Part Time Employees at least 20 hours)
* Home Depot
* GE Capital
* Federal Express
* Pepsi Co.
* The Federal Government
* Microsoft
* Cisco
* Intel
* Harrah’s and Caesar’s Palace
* Toyota
* Walgreens
* Invesco
* Bonneville Power Admin
* IBM
* United States Post Office
* Verizon Wireless
* Liberty Mutual Insurance
* Most Teachers in most School Districts
* CDW
Below is a list of companies who I know don't cover bariatric surgery:
* Macys
* PRGX
* E*Trade
* McKesson
* Hallmarki
