Question:
Regence Insurance anyone?

Just wondering if anyone who has had RNY or any WLS surgery had coverage by Regence Insurance? I already had RNY but I'm wanting to have the tummy tuck and am curious if Regents would cover it should I end up with them as my insurance.    — o2bnob (posted on July 10, 2007)

I dont have regence, but I wouldn't get my hopes up of them ever paying for any kind of "elective" surgery. I have awesome insurance, and unless, you are disfigured or something like that, almost all insurances wont even touch you for "beautification" purposes. Your best bet would be to do your homework, call your human resources manager, and ask the dirty question. Don't be too disappointed when they turn you down time after time after time. Rather focus your energy towards finding a quality surgeon, who has a payment option, and work on that. Capital One also has a payment plan for medical as well and they will loan with very few restrictions. Just remember, what ever you pay for plastic surgery, you are saving by not going through McDonalds anymore. You are still spending, just on a much better alternative. Best of luck
