Topic: Medi-Cal???
Hello,
My sister is considering weight loss surgery, but she only has Medi-Cal insurance. (California's version of MediCare, I think....)
Anyone know if Medi-Cal covers any kind of WLS?
Thanks,

Sleeves have to be done at the MTF and appealing in this case does no good. :o(

I'm tricare prime and am wanting VSG. I've been working on this for about a month and have not heard that I can't get VSG by my surgeon's staff. Oh don't tell me I can't get the VSG!!

Insurance doesn't really cover cosmetics. Are you having any medical problems that require surgical intervention?

Topic: RE: Help with insurance lingo
There are some seriously fantastic surgeons in Mexico. I have had surgery twice in Mexicali and will do my plastics the same.
Just do your research, don't pay high deposits, before paying the deposit get it in writing if it is refundable or not. Pay your deposit with a credit card when possible. That holds true for the US or MX.
A sleeve is a great procedure for MX because there is no after care, you have surgery and you are done.
If you check out the link in my sig you can see how to research surgeons.

Topic: UHC (govt employees health assn) ?
Hello,
I am working on gathering my diet records for the last 12 months. I went to a diet clinic at the end of 09 and beginning of 10'. I just got copies for the records but the sheets do not list a contact number. It has the billing codes and lists my visits. Will UHC call the diet clinic to verify I went there? I don't think they require 6 consecutive months-just 6 visits in the previous 12 months (I think).

OMG!!! That was some really good info! Thank you for breaking everything down for me, I needed that. So after reading your post, I'm really considering looking into doing this in MX. I was a bit scared to even think about getting surgery done there, but after reading what you wrote, I'm really excited, and the price is considerably cheap. Thanks again!
Topic: BCBS Alabama-- HELP!!!
I am wanting to have plastics (a panni and breast lift) and was wondering how I go about figuring out what is covered and not covered on my insurance? Where do I find the info? I tried to call, they werent very helpful.
I had WLS RNY 2-2009. I have maintained a comfortable stable weight for quite a while now (almost a year with even being pregnant most of that)
I rarely check back - i will try to, but if you have the answers or suggestions to help and have spare time, please email me at [email protected]
