Is PCOS considered a co-morbid?

Hi Ladies! For those of you who have had RNY I'm just curious if any of your insurance companies have considered Insulin Resistant PCOS a co-morbiditity??

JW, I don't know if my insurance considered my PCOS as a co-morbidity, but my surgeon listed it as one. Good luck in your quest for surgery. Kelli

My insurance consider it as co-morbid.... That is one of my main reasons for getting the surgery and I just found out that I have sleep apnea

i have medicare and it doesnt consider it a comorbidity. but definitely get your sleep study done!!! i had No idea that i had apnea. turns out, i did! i'm pretty sure every insurance considers that a comorbidity.  take care!

 Hello... i just found this forum, im going to have my surgery monday i have pcos and my endocrinologist said that the underlining condition for pcos is diabetes. she stated by treated this with metformin i take it twice a day. this was alos one of my main co morbid cos  that were considered with my surgery. good luck to you.

I have BCBS w/ the state and they considered it a co-morb, but mostly I would think that all the symptoms of PCOS that you have are considered co-morbs.

it's always good to list as many things that might be considered co-morbids as possible when requesting insurance approval. so list it even if there may be a doubt. mine did consider it.
