Another Insurance Question

I am have a very difficult time understanding why the doctors who perform the MGB will not accept insurance. If it is so much better and cheaper than the RNY I would think there would be no problems with accepting insurance companies. There are so many obese people out there who are in need of this life threatening disease who cannot afford it if it is not covered by their insurance. Does anyone have the answer?

Well I think the best thing to do is call or email Dr. Rutledge and let him tell you why.

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Its actually the other way around most insurance companies do not cover the MGB so the doctors who do the MGB can not accept insurance. Please do your research about this procedure there are a lot of concerns about the long term medical issues that the MGB may cause.
