Partnership HEALTH PLAN Insurance

@@shaylady08 that's why I try to make sure I respond to everyone that has questtions in this post so people on this insurance know that it's possible. Because of course Partnership don't simply put it out there that bariatric surgery is covered. It just has to be medically necessary for them to cover it.

Hello all!

I was just wondering if anybody else had an issue trying to get healthy steps to talk to you in anyway? I did my seminar with them on July 30, 2016 so this year. I was told in that it would take anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks to get all of your paperwork taken care of. I called in the middle of August I was told that they are processing the paperwork from that day and that they should be calling me shortly. I called them again in the middle of September and left a message and never heard anything back. I was just wondering if anybody else had this type of experience with healthy steps in Santa Rosa?

@@Blondbrnsugar I've never had an issue. I was always in contact with Veronica. But I learned to never leave a message as their voice-mail system has always been messed up so I call back a little later if I ever got the voice-mail

Hello did partnership require you to lose any weight first? also classes or anything like that ? Because I know some do I am going to Fresno Bariatrics

@Tygrss888 yes all of them require you to lose about 10% of your starting weight. I am still going through my stuff. 15 lbs down!! A half way to my 10%.
But it is about 3-4 "dr appointments" before the surgery . I say " dr appointments" because you'll be meeting with nutritionist, trainers, nurses and various other doctors i.e. gastroenterologist cardiologist etc.
And it's not really partnership that requires you lose weight it's the surgeon.
