Question:
Does anyone know how Great West, PPo stands on tummy tucks, etc.???

Hi, I have Great West PPo and I know they cover WLS, I am in the early stages of surgery, my consultation and seminar is Oct 5th. What I want to know is, does anyone know where Great West stands on doing the after WLS surgeries such as a tummy tuck, the skin under my arms, thighs, etc? Thanks, email me at [email protected] if u want to...    — [Deactivated Member] (posted on September 17, 2004)

Hi. I really don't know if Great West covers plastic surgery. but I thought I'd comment that I'd be surprised if they do. I work in a nursing home and Great West is the worst Medicare supplement insurance I have seen. They cover practically nothing. but I imagine that has a lot to do with what company you worked for that has the Great West coverage. The one in this area is bad bad bad. They pay very little and charge an arm and a leg. I feel bad for the old folks who pay for this insurance. Oh well, sorry I am not more positive for you. Good luck in your journey.
