Re: Heard of this one?

I wish I'd brought a copy of the A.M. Best guide

before I went out on w/c. You can get some info about

any insurance company by going to

www.ambest.com

The Best guide tells about financial strength and

provides other info for insurers. Darn, I don't know

if the guide has anything other than Prop-Casualty

carriers so now I'm not sure. Well, try anyway, LOL.

As for " will they ok the surgery? " ... I don't know

but.. I said it before and I'll say it again... This

may not be possible but if you can get your agent to

put in writing that the DS surgery is an approved

procedure with the insurer and it turns out it isn't,

you may have a case against the agent's Errors and

Omissions insurance. The agt is considered the " arm "

of the insurer so you might be lucky in that way.

I'm concerned that the agt may not know so might be

saying " yes " just to get you to sign up... and later

you might find out the carrier may approve the RNY

only instead of the DS as well.

Good luck,

dee

Thanks Dee, I did check them out on the A.M. Best. They are rated A++.

I spoke with the agent again yesterday and he assured me they do

cover " Medically Necessary " WLS. I don't want to push it too much

with him, I'm afraid if he finds out I am wanting this surgery he

will mess it up for me. I'll keep posting!

Take care, Roxanne
