Medicare - I have it and things have changed a lot they cover almost everything

@@deb1327

so happy for that you will be covered by medicare

i went on early retirement disability in 2011

too many orthopedic issues

i was only 53

i had worked for the state of ny for 30 years

this made medicare my primary

secondary was BCBS

sleeve was not covered then by medicare

you are such a smart cookie

you already knew that

was considered "experimental"

after many "discussions" with BCBS, they approved me

they didn't at first since my primary (medicare didn't approve me)

they felt they shouldn't cover it either

i know medicare finally accepted the sleeve a couple of years ago

that makes it much easier for you

wish they had accepted back when.............

i was a little late, and a dollar short

But BCBS ins covered all, no co-pay even

so all finally was successfully done

good luck with sleeve surgery

i love my sleeve (it loves me back )

Good Luck
