You can call your insurance company and ask for a copy of the coverage for Bariatric Surgery. It will show you what they are looking for and what you need to qualify. Good luck!

Thank you shrinkingpeach I have dug pretty deep on the whole insurance company policy and coverage..... gotten alot of mixed messages from insurance, clinic and even case manager which is a requirement. I'm just looking for any pros and cons on highmark because I know they are all so different on how they cover and approve!! I guess I'm getting a little ahead of myself I'm just so anxious and scared for a denial! Sounds pretty silly saying it out loud lol.
