companies that offer insurance

[Guest guest]

I've heard that Wal-Mart carries the insurance that covers WLS.

If I had known this BEFORE my surgery....heh heh heh....but, I didn't :-(

Her best bet might be an insurance company. When I was at Prudential you

could qualify for full time benefits with a minimum 30 hour week. They had

second shift customer service jobs that would work 5, 6-hour shifts a week

qualifying for insurance.

Good luck to her!

I have a friend that needs health insurance, as her husband is being

laid off, and it will be awhile before he finds work. She only wants

to work part time, to be able to still be with her kids. She is

looking for a company that she can buy into health insurance even at

a part time rate. Any ideas?? In the land area. Thanks for your

help. OH, and yes this is WLS related, she is obese, and wants to

have surgery once her husband is back at work.

Ask your friend if she has a Costco in her area. If she does, have her

try to get on with them. My husband has worked for them for 9 years now

and I just started with them the first of November. They love having

part-time workers and the starting pay is $10 per hour. The best thing

is that after a certain amount of time (I forget how much), she will

qualify for health insurance for both her and any other family members.

And the two companies that provide the health insurance for Costco both

cover wls, as long as it is medically necessary.

We get full health insurance benefits along with dental coverage for my

husband, myself, and our daughter and all it costs us is about $45 per

month. They are a great company to work for if you can get on with

them. Tell her good luck and my prayers are with her.
