When I went for my consult..the dr office said they verified that my insurance would cover the surgery, so I was scheduled the next week for an upper GI. about a week after I had the endoscopy done, something told me to call my insurance company just to put my mind at ease...GASTRIC SURGERY IS A PLAN EXCLUSIVE...IT AIN'T COVERED...but the surgery center said that they will do a hernia repair and at the same time put the band in...(I knew that i had a hernia or something because I had horrible heartburn and throwing up) but anyway, so far it looks like my insurance will cover the endoscopy, conlonoscopy and sleep apnea test...the price they quoted is very, very affordable and they said I could make monthly payments...can they do this? is this legal? has anyone every had this experiance?
