No Serious Health Issues

[ShayLove 40]

I don't have any serious health issues other than borderline diabetes and morbid obesity. I'm afraid my insurance company may turn me down being that I have no serious health issues. Anyone ever been through any problems like this!

It seems as if even the more lenient insurance companies will deny surgery it your BMI is under 40 without diagnosed co-morbidities .

Hi ShayLove

I don't have any health issues or comorbidities and I was approved. Check with your insurance company about the requirements. My BMI is over 40 so...

[Blondiee 278]

What is your BMI?

[ShayLove 40]

<p>What is your BMI?</p>

My BMI is 43

You qualify per the DMHC guidelines. You shouldn't have any problem being approved but, please make sure that your employer doesn't have an exclusion in your policy.

Thank you so much! I will check with them tomorrow

Shay I didn't have any co- morbities either, but my BMI was 42 that alone qualified me. I have Aetna. Be sure to contact your insurance company an get the facts. I know with Aetna I was able to go online & print their clinical policy for bariatric surgey.
