The Bariatric Resource Services (BRS) benefit is being eliminated by the State Health Benefit effective January 1, 2012. No new patients are being accepted into the program for the remainder of 2011.
All pre-surgery requirements and scheduled surgeries must be completed by December 31, 2011. If the member has already registered with BRS, they should contact their assigned BRS Nurse at 800-955-7976, ext. 72908 with any questions. A BRS staff member will contact the member within 48 hrs.
Lap-Band adjustments: If the member has had a previous lap-band surgery and develops complications requiring an adjustment, then the lap-band adjustment will be covered.
Also on a sidenote DS is not for just super overly obese. Check out dsfacts.com for more clarification on this. :-)
Other insurances do not require nearly as much.
I am curious why your insurance only covers the band? This is very unusual? Most will cover band and rny.
Do you mind sharing your insurance and employer?
