    My company is switching to a new insurance company in January that covers the sleeve. Thing is..they're two plans 1. High Deductible and 2. Buy up plan. Both covers the procedure! Idk which one to pick. The high ded.plan has a 1500 deductible but the buy up deductible is 500. Should I get the buy up but the premium is high..or the cheaper one with high ded. My ins. Is BCBS of WNY.

    I just called up the insurance company...i think I might go with the buy up plan..the premium is higher but when it comes down to the out of pocket at surgery I have much less to come up with

    I know how u feel. My coordinator won't respond to my emails. She told me that I had to see a dietician for 6 months. I told her I was seeing my doc monthly and said that a dietician isnt in my budget. My insurance doesnt req it. So y is she.still.pushing it. I asked.her if WW will suffice.and she has yet to respond..which.was two weeks ago!

    6 Months Of Waiting :(

    MK1986 replied to MK1986's topic in Insurance & Financing

    Well everyone. I had my first appt today and this will not count towards my supervised diet because it was a preliminary thing. Also I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and was prescribed pressure meds and fluid meds. I am not surprised but this helps my case! She gave me a diet to follow. I am hoping to have my surgery in March.
