Hi All,

I've just lost my medical coverage and had a self-pay VSG last month (Mexico).

As I'm looking at purchasing a new policy, the all ask about pre-existing conditions.

If I tell them about my VSG, is is an automatic 5 year ban from getting insured?
Do I stay quiet to get approved?  My PCP doesn't even know I've had it so it's not on any of my medical records here

I just want to know what my options are to get insured.

Thanks!!

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on how I should go about searching for new insurance?
Anyone have any idea what insurance would be the best pick and least expensive in terms of extra preniums for someone who is obese?
I am in AZ, if that helps.

I have checked a bit online and even had some things sent to me but it seems like specific weight cut offs for being denied or what you have to pay for a BMI above 30, for instance, aren't that easy to find.

I'd appreciate any help or response on this, and I'm really hoping I can find new insurance... I can't imagine not having health insurance,

Thanks,

Nia

Yay! Congrats!

That's awesome news!!! I'm so happy for you!

I'm trying to find a way to pay my high deductible. Who is financing your surgery?

My insurance doesn't cover any kind of bariatric surgery. I'm looking for a private pay insurance that covers vsg for my husband. Does anyone know of any private pay ins. that covers vsg?
