I have an insurance question.  I had gastric bypass surgery in 2009. My daughter signed up through the exchange and was told when signing up in March bariatric surgery was covered, only to find out that in June it isn't.  I have tried to appeal with not a good outcome.  My questions are-  What insurance company in Ohio covers bariatric surgery-self pay and what other avenues can we take?  I called the hospital but they told us in order to self pay, on the day of surgery we would have to pay 24,500.  which is totally impossible.

 

Any help would be really appreciated
