Does anyone know if Emblem GHI covers fills?

Right now I have comprehealth - a division of HIP and i am having the surgery in december (hopefully) but in january i am switching to GHI and I was just wondering if they cover the fills...the do cover weight loss surgery

if that does work then click on this

then click on Bariatric Surgery (6th linked down on the left column)

Page 4 # 2 Fills are expected every 6 weeks until needed and not under floro. I guess they don't want to pay. My doctor said he only charges $100.00 for fills. So that is not too bad. I know your doctor quoted me $250.00 a fill.

The office manager requested a copy of this too. So you may want to do the same. BTW GHI has changed some since becoming part of Emblem....so far i do not like the changes. I just found out my individual deductible is $100 more so $300 for the year! Anyways good luck.
