Hi this is actually a repost I think I may have put the wrong name for my insurance. I am recently on Oxford Health Plan and I wanted to know if they will pay for the lapband surgery and what requirements they have. i had GHI CBP New York City workers and they want you do a lot before they will even consider you. I know I am probably paranoid but from what I have read Oxford has minimal requirements for approval. It looks too easy and you know what they say if it looks to go to be true it probably is. If anyone has this coverage and can shed some light on the subject I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

I currently have GHI through my husband and I am signing up for United Healthcare/Oxford Liberty thru my job. I already know that GHI wants you to go through 6 mos medically supervised diet. Does anyone know what the requirements are for United Health/Oxford from what i'm reading it seems like a letter of medical neccessity and a BMI above 40. If anyone can shed some light on this please let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks so much for your reply. I hope my process goes as smoothly as yours did. From what I have been reading yes that is true a BMI of at least 40 and comorbities. I have a BMI of at least 60 and Comorbities of sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Good luck with your surgery and a fast recovery. Keep in touch let me know how things go. Thanks Again.
