I have BCBS TRS ActiveCare2 (Texas Educators). Surgery is covered, but with $5000 Bariatric Copay along with 20% of procedure costs, up to $4000, $150/day hospital fee, $150 per visit to nutritionist, psychologist, etc.

Hope this helps!

I did have to pay the $4k all at once when I checked into hospital for surgery but I used Care Credit for it and financing over 2 years.

He told me 95% of people have hernias but most don't know about it. He just has to do an egd to tell if you have a hernia.
