Nationwide Insurance



Recommended Posts

:help: Hello...I have a question about Nationwide Insurance. My friend is wanting to have the procedure done and does not know if her insurance---Nationwide covers? Does anyone know anything about this plan?

If you do, it would be of great help so I can let her know. Thanks.

Because every policy is different, your friend should call the insurance company personally and ask them if they cover WLS, if they do, then she needs to be more specific and ask about the lap band itself, and what the qualifications are. They should be able to tell her over the phone. She should also have a policy book that the information would be in, but its always best just to call them. I know this isnt much, but its a start. I wish your friend the best of luck!!!

Thanks MEW for the info. She does not currently have a company insurance booklet, and for some odd reason, they do not offer one either. But, I will tell her to call customer service on her card and ask, or I will call them for her.

And have them mail that part of the policy (with the requirements) to her so that she has it in writing.

Thanks FaithMD, I will have her do that. I just hope she can get it done, I think she will be so much happier.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
