The best will be to give them a call.... They will answer all of your questions about that. Every ins is diff.

I have it... After going to the center here for some testing I was approved within three days of submitting. Should be pretty easy. All they require is a BMI of 40+, a mental eval, and medical records. I don't even have the 6 month waiting period. Seeing the surgeon on ties to schedule. Call them and ask what your coverage is.
