Many policies have exclusions that include gastric bypass and lap band surgeries. It may be medically necessary but isn’t a covered benefit. You may have to change your policy from an HMO to a PPO during open enrollment but this won’t guarantee that a PPO will cover it. You’d have to investigate in advance. You may have to consider private pay.
blue cross clue shield will only for certain criteria met and geha (government employees hospital association) will
usually your criteria will be that you cannot have been treated for any related illness in the last 6 months and then you must pass extensive testing…..the best thing you can do is call an office where the procedure is specialized and ask what companies they accept insurance from and see if you can obtain insurance from there
my daughter is a nurse and works at a gastric bypass center, i’ll e-mail her and get back to you sometime today.
