my aetna plan does not cover wls - options... anyone

My husband works for a big company (Siemens).  He's been working there for 20 years.  In the last 5 or 6 years when it comes time to choose our insurance plan we always opt for whatever plan does not require refferals.   Its been quite a challenge to avoid having to switch drs due to ins changes. This past Jan we ended up with Aetna.  After my initial consult with a bariatric surgeon I found out that our plan does not include WLS - period.  They dont cover any type of treatment related to obesity itself - only the conditions it causes.  Nutritional counseling - not covered (unless you are diabetic) I'm devastated.  I finally reached a point that I was ready to consider WLS only to run into a wall.  I suppose I could try to see if some other plan that's among our choices covers WLS - but I would most likely have to find new primary care doc, and GYN etc....... WAAAAHHHHH!!! Anyone else been in this situation?  What did you do?? Jean

Im sorry to hear about your problem, however i dont have an answer, but if I were you I would place this on the Main Board, and more people can help you out, everyone is very nice and will give you plenty of advice!  Good luck hun!!
