Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 Hi Barbara, I started " lurking " here on this email group in early July. I filled out my patient form and found from doing that, my ins. co. would pay. It took a while to get my PCP appt and his approval and physical. I sent my packet in last Thurs and was informed on this Monday I was approved. I got my date for surgery on Wednesday this week. Most of the time elapsing was getting my end of things done with my PCP. Mine went rather fast as far as my ins. approval and Dr. R's approval went. Good luck on your journey. Stay tuned to the patient manual. It is a step by step information center.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 Does anyone have experience with Goodyear Tire 7 Rubber Co. Group Insurance? In the past they have paid for Dr. supervised liquid fasts (Medifast), Phen-Phen, Meridia, and Xenical. I'm sort of assuming that MGB will be covered. Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 Barbara, I too have Goodyear Tire and Rubber insurance.....I called the benefits dept when I first found Dr. R's website and after much research decided this was for me, I inquired about coverage for WLS and was told that it is based on medical necessity. I was told they required 3 things: 1. ltr of med. necessity from your surgeon, 2. psych exam results, and 3. proof of a physician monitored weight loss plan results. I am in the process of getting all my info gathered to complete the on-line form for Dr. R's office to compile the letter to the insurance co. for approval. Please let me know what you have heard or found out about the benefits. I am like you, I thought they would certainly pay for surgery since they have paid for every weight loss drug known for me over the years....!! Good Luck and keep me posted!!
