Guest guest Posted July 22, 2000 Report Share Posted July 22, 2000 Hi, Can anyone tell me if the MGB can be considered outpatient surgery? When I spoke to my insurance company(BCBS of RI) they asked if the surgery was inpatient or outpatient. I wasn't sure how to answer the question since I knew that the surgery time was so short and the hospital stay was usually only one night. After I told her the estimated surgery time and that there should only be a one night stay, she said that it sounded like the one night was just for observation and that it sounded like it could be considered outpatient surgery. In which case, I shouldn't have a problem with the surgery being covered. I asked for that in writing and she told me should would send me a copy of my insurance contract. I'm waiting to see what it says. In the mean time I'd like to find out is the surgery is considered outpatient or inpatient. Thank you for your help! Carol in MA.
