Question:
Has anyone had Premera Heritage Plus 1 and got the surgery approved?

Any suggestions on working with my insurance to get this approved would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone used the www.obesitylaw.com attorney? Thank you in advance for any help!    — Christine M. (posted on June 25, 2004)

I have this exact same plan. They will NOT under any circumstances pay for WLS. I talked to the insurance agent, Premera, the Dr.'s office insurance biller and they all said that NEVER has Premera paid. In fact, 2 of our hospitals will no longer contract with Premera after September 1 because they are such a terrible insurance company and refuse to pay for nearly everything. Because of this, I have decided to self pay. Yes, I could switch insurance companies and go through everything necessary, but that would be at least an 18 month delay and I am ready to do this now! Let me know if you succeed!
