Got a Explanation of Benefits from PacifiCare today. It states that the only amount I am responsible for is $900 so they paid for the bulk of the surgery. YIPPEE!!!!

Gotta love Dr. Billy.

Amy I am hearing since United Healthcare bought out Pacificare that the chances of the band being covered are better now. I am waiting the 6 months and will most likely persue the thought of getting Pacificare to cover it. AT least I am gonna try if I still feel that way in 6 months. Right now I don't want any more surgeries for a long long time. LOL!!

I have United Healthcare, and they are really pushing companies to put in the written bariatric surgery exclusion. This is something new, and unfortunately something I am being blocked by. I have to self pay for my surgery. Hopefully they will not have the written exclusion for my mom, because it would be hard for her to save up that cash.
