Hi there! I've tried researching this on my own and I can't seem to find much. My insurance (Anthem BCBS) will only cover in-network providers at one of their approved centers, and since there are none in my state I'll be traveling about 8 hours each way. My employer doesn't accept doctor's notes, and everything would have to be FMLA approved. Should those doctor's visits be covered since I have to travel for them...?

I did talk to my doctor's office today and they said no, it would not be covered. So I had to sadly reschedule my consultation for January. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm not worried about they pay part. I know the actual operation/recovery would be covered, I was just curious as to whether or not anyone had experience with the pre-op appointments themselves being part of what is covered. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
