megret 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Just want to know if anyone is a long termer with the lap band. And now with the new code number for insurance, do you think we may have a chance for coverage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReneBean 3 Posted January 24, 2006 I can't help you with the 4 yr thing - but unless your employer specifically excludes or your policy specifically excludes, then you have a chance for coverage. I was denied, appealed, denied again and then submitted to the State Insurance Board for an Independent Medical Review. The Review Board over-turned the insurance denial... It can be done. It isn't a QUICK process, but it can be done. PM me with your e-mail address and I will forward my appeal letters. Good Luck!! :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
