Just a quick question
I had the same problems when I called my insurance company about my coverage. They were vague, rude and completely unhelpful. I got to my first appointment with the surgeon and they knew exactly what they had to do and what my insurance requirements were. What a relief! No more worries! Let the experts get the answers for you.
HW: 248+, SW (RNY: 2/28/17): 244, GW (10/17): 125; LW: 115; 45# regain (19-20); CW: 135.6; new goal: 135; Plastics: Ext mastopexy, Ext abdominoplasty-5/18/2018; diagnosed w/ gastroparesis 11/20.
My insurance didn't cover my bypass but years ago when I had the band, the insurance required a list of all the weight loss programs I had tried over the years and approximate dates. I believe they wanted to see that I had tried traditional methods (Weigh****chers, Optifast, etc) with no long term success before approving surgery.
Hope your requirement is something easy like that -- insurance can be a pain in the patootie.
