Hello,

I am 36 years old and looking to have Gastric Sleeve surgery.  I have BCBS(Blue Cross Blue Sheild)/Carefirst Administrators private insurance through my job.  I also have Maryland Physicians Care as a secondary insurance.  I am halfway through a 16 week nutrition program that I was referred to by my PCP after stating that I would like to have a VSG.  I was referred to a surgeon and when I called them to set up my initial consultation, I was told that I had to call my primary insurance, BCBS, to see if I had Bariatric Coverage.  Well, I do NOT have bariatric coverage and the surgeon I was referred to does not participate with Maryland Physicians Care at all.  I just found this out today, September 7th 2017.  Does anyone know of any other avenues I should take or any surgeons that are known to accept Maryland Physicians Care? I would be willing to travel if neccessary.
