My insurance company is American General. I applied for the WLS on 12/16/99. My doctor applied for predetermination of surgery, I received a letter the other day stating: "While this plan does not provide for the predetermination of benefits, it does have a pre certification requirement for all proposed surgeries. Therefore, you should direct your inquiry to Excel Care." So, after waiting two months, this is all I have heard from them and I am still waitinng.

Not an answer, but a queston for Sharon H. I have General American Insurance too. I have been declined for the reason being that it says that there is an exclusion for obesity. But it does not say morbid obesity. Did your policy have an exclusion for obesity?
