insurance changes re gastric bypass surgery

[Guest guest]

it would be interesting to see a few insurance companies try omitting what

has become a standardied life-saving surgery, and get sued really hard. I would

suggest you ask the legal eagles at ASBS; they ought to be up sharp about what

is coming and what it not.

To the soul who said United Health Care was dropping their WLS provision, we

had United Health Care 4 years ago when I had surgery and they turned us down

flat, after " losing papers " 6 times, you know the routine. There are numberous

UHC plans, the employer often scrimps on insurance, for their costs are

cheaper if wls and other surgeries are omitted, or are high co-pay.
