I am Going For It!!

Oct 13, 2008

So, I switched insurance companies at our last enrollment time, just hoping and praying that this insurance will cover surgery.  My insurance has never covered WLS.  I made the phone call in January, and I couldn't believe it!!  My insurance plan actually had coverage!!  I got all the details....such as what all is required for approval.  For approval, they require:  6 months supervised diet, 5 year morbid obesity history with medical records to prove it, co-morbidities, a letter of medical necessity by my doctor, and a psych evaluation.  So, I called my family doctor and asked if she would help, and she was more than happy to oblige!!  So began my journey.
