nursekathy2u 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Most insurance companies dont require co-morbids for people whose BMI is over 40.. only if it is below 40. So I think you are safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LA chula27 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Thank you for your answer my sister had surgery & she tells me the same thing, but deep down i think im going to be denied by the insurance.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
librarygirl 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Same here...my insurance didn't require co-morbidities aver 40BMI. Good luck. Oh, and the two you listed were not qualifications for under 40BMI on my insurance. If you are 42, you should be safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
