stpatty 18 Posted August 16, 2016 I sent the HR director a plea (via email) to cover VSG last week. I've gotten no response in any form. How long should I wait to follow up or should I assume she's ignoring me and that equals a denial? I don't want to anger/annoy anyone but I'm getting a bit peeved.

heidikat72 935 Posted August 16, 2016 I would request a face to face meeting through the HR director's admin. A week is plenty long to wait for a response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted August 16, 2016 @@stpatty, did you leave an important piece of info out of your question? Why are you asking human resources to cover your surgery? Does your company handle medical matters on its own rather than providing a med plan from an insurance company? I suppose the other way I can say this is: Is your employer self-insured?

stpatty 18 Posted August 16, 2016 My company has an exclusion in our insurance policy and only they (HR) can override the exclusion or at the very least allow me to purchase a rider to the policy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
