AFLAC vs Gastric Bypass RNY
I was wondering if anyone has Aflac and filed a claim for your surgery. I have it and they said they had to review the report first to determine if it's payable. Mine was a medical referral for my diabetes/high blood pressure. I know they will pay the hospital confinement of $400/day but unsure about the surgery itself. If you have been paid on a claim how much did they pay or an average. Just curious.

lol...AFLAC can bite my a**
..they paid my hospital stay, but denied my surgery procedure benefit because my obesity was a "pre-existing condition"
NO SH*T!!! I've fought this battle all my life...morons!
Nobody at AFLAC could understand that this is a life saving surgery and that it HAS to be a battle we fight for most of our lives to even qualify for surgery...AFLAC is a scam...they will fight you every step of the way, and continue to take their cut from your paychecks....quit while you're ahead!!
I saved all the money they should have paid for the surgery by CANCELLING MY POLICY!!!
good luck to you!

I have the Hospital Confinement and the sickness/accident. My REP thinks they will pay mine as long as the Dr. doesn't put it was for cosmetic reasons. Of course it wasn't so I don't know why he would think that. I'm diabetic (insulin depandent) and have high blood pressure. *I haven't had a insulin injection since the day I got home from the hospital. We'll see. I'm sorry they didn't pay for those of you who shared. I may be in the same situation. I'll find out soon. I'm submitting my Short Term Disability Claim tomorrow along with my hospitalization policy claim.
