Dr. Fontana did my surgery with Dr. W. All wonderful Surgeons here.... Front desk staff is amazing.... Great staff all around, from Nutrition to Nurses and office staff...
I interviewed more than 5 practices before I decided on my surgery. I interviewed about 12 Surgeons, and I got the best...

Hello, Brandy, and welcome.
I don't know what employers exist in the part of SW Virginia where you've moved, but here in Richmond, some of the employers that have purchased the WLS "rider" for their employees' health care plan include:
* State of Virginia [Anthem; but.... State of VA "Covacare" now requires 12 month diet before they'll authorize surgery. Boo!]
*NONE of the local county governments (boo); ie Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield - school teachers, firemen, police etc. YOUR county government may; worth a check
*Federal government employees have rider: either Tricare (military) or Federal Blue Cross (civilian)
*Philip Morris
*Verizon
*Most Hospital systems offer the rider: HCA, Bon Secours, ?Carillon
*Banks: CapitalOne, Bank of America, Wachovia
*Kroger
*Alcoa
*Honeywell
*IBM
*JP Morgan
*Aramark
*Georgia Pacific
Hope this helps. Good luck!
