Question:
does this sound like i'll be covered?

heres what i says in our insurance hand book....."General Exclusions"Weight reduction or control (Unless there is a diagnosis of Morbid Obesity. What an awful word huh???) Special foods, food supplements, liqud diet, diet plans or any related products.Those are the exact words....so does that sound like i will be covered???? Has any one had this writen in their insurance handbook?    — Lori-ann J. (posted on September 1, 2000)

It sure looks good, Lori. I like that it specifically says "Unless there is a diagnosis of Morbid Obesity." I looked at your profile and I think you have a great chance! Best of luck to you.

Your chances look pretty good. I had similar wording in my employee handbook as well except instead of "a diagnosis of Morbid Obesity," it said "medical necessity." I was approved in 2 days. Good luck!
