I have an individual plan with BC/BS of Michigan. They paid for my lap RNY. When I was researching this surgery I knew I would have to change my insurance so I went to the insurers section of this website and read through the comments regarding insurance companies in my state and found a few individuals who had non-group policies and had their wls covered.
