Insurance coverage

[KathyLynn160 27]

Has anyone had their insurance cover the bypass 100% or at least close to it? I had medicaid when I started this, but before it was approved I lost it. I'm looking into buying my own insurance coverage now and was just wondering what my options would be for little out of pocket cost. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

You have to check with the insurance options and see how much of this type of surgery is covered and use the "in network physicians".

My surgery was close to 80k and my cost after insurance was just under 7k.

It varies from plan to plan. Mine is a 70/30 plan once the deductible is met. My surgery was about 55K and I ended up paying $2800 out of pocket because I hit my maximum out of pocket for the year.

I have to pay 2,000 up front.

Oh wow. I had no idea surgery is that expensive. Military is covering mine 100% even psych eval etc. So gosh this makes me appreciate them even more now.

Be thankful at my doctors office one of the nurses was so upset....her sister who jumped through all the hoops only to not make the January 1 deadline....Her employer changed insurance ...and this new insurance will not cover WLS....end of story....
