Question regarding fills and Medica



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone:

I know Medica will cover the surgery,but, I'd like to cut down the hours I work and go under hubby's insurance Aetna (which will not cover the lapband). So, my question is. Are fills included in the surgery bill? Will another insurance pick up the cost of fills even though they wouldn't pick up the surgery? Thank you all. I read all your posts, and will soon be on the other side in 2 weeks. Gabby

I had my surgery done in Mexico, and both fills that I'v had in California they won't look at my insurance. I have Blue X PPO. I always try to get them to use my insurance, but they won't. My fills were done by difforant dr.s, the last only cost me $75.00 thats because it was this dr.s first blind fill he had ever done. I don't know if he'll charge me that again, right now I'm at 3.5cc's and have fair/good restriction.

I don't know if I was any help.... good luck.

It sound like you might have a blanket deal, fills included with surgery if your already approved for the procedure? Get the details. again good luck!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
