Here is the exact wording of my policy on WLS...
"Health Services and associated expenses for the surgical treatment and non-surgical, medical treatment of obesity (including morbid-obesity) are excluded." It just confuses me that they added "are excluded" to the end of that restriction, but not others such as... "Health Services which are not medically neccessary." or "Personal comfort and convenience items or services such as television, telephone, barber or beauty service, guest service and similar incidental services and supplies." or "Penial implants for the treatment of impotence having a psychological origin." See what I'm getting at? They have a list under exclusions that starts with A and goes through AI...they only make statements about what is NOT covered, but have "are excluded" at the end of the WLS statement. Are they saying that medical treatment for obesity and morbid obesity are excluded from the exclusion? Or did they just mess up and add "are excluded" to that one restriction by mistake? Seems like they would make each statement in the same manner... I'm confused...
