what did your insurance pay?



Recommended Posts

I have united health care and I know they will pay for the surgery because it is preventative but i am concerned they wont pay for the tests that lead up to it I know they don't pay for normal labs except for the once a year bio-metric screening the y require to stay insured.

I have UHC and they paid for all my consults with True Results (6 month mandated visits) They also covered all my tests including EKG, sleep Study etc. They only thing I had to pay out of pocket for was my Psych Evaluation which was 250. They are also paying for my surgery. What plan do you have? I have known that depending on which plan UHC will cover a lot and then other times nothing but the surgery etc. Let us know how the consultation goes today! :D

I have u UHC through my husband company and they covered every thing including psych eval. I didn't have to have sleep study, but did the 6 months visits. I think my out of pocket portion co pay is $581 which I will use the flex spending account to cover!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
