Medicare policy

[Guest guest]

I found medicare's policy on treatment of obesity. Quite often insurance

companies use medicare's guidelines to set up there own. I did not see a

date, so would think that this is the current policy. I don't know if it

will be of any help, but it gives one pause to think. Medicare doesn't

consider obesity an illness. I think they do believe that alcoholism is.
