Ideal NY Insurance for lap band?

[sland 0]

Hi everyone. I may be switching insurance companies, and with that in mind, I was wondering -- What is the best insurance company (easiest to get an approval from, etc.) for lap band surgery? I have heard something about Oxford having more leniencies, though I don't know the details. Please share whatever insight on the matter you may have.

Thanks!

I have Oxford. All they require is that you have a BMI of over a certain number, I can't remember exactly what it is. My BMI is way over, so I'm good to go. You don't have to do the 6 months supervised dieting. Oxford approved me in 3 days.
