Insurance Wording

[TheMrsAsh18 24]

I was looking at my insurance exclusions and it stated this:

for weight management services and supplies related to weight reduction programs, weight

management programs, related nutritional supplies, treatment of obesity, surgery for removal of excess

skin or fat.

Do y'all think I can try to see if it will be covered and appeal? Do I have a Chance?

Thanks!!

Hon, I have worked with insurance for many years. I think that they have got you as it specifically states that treatment of obesity is excluded. Surgical intervention is considered treatement of obesity. It is certainly worth a try but my gut tells me that you would not necessarily win an appeal. Let us know how it plays out.
