Thank you for your email. Dr. Barry S. Greene of Advanced Surgery PC is a participaing PPO provider with the Plan. Unfortunately, your group coverage with CareFirst does not include benefits for lap band surgery or gastric bypass.
i want to look into having lap band surgery. i am 5'3", i weigh 245, i have sleep apnea, high BP and high cholesterol as well as irregular thyroid.
i don't get how a doctor that does lap bands and gastric bypass surgeries could be a preferred provider yet the procedure itself is not covered.
anyone eaver deal with this?
I have Bc/BS PPO thru maryland.
