lanie527 0 Posted May 29, 2008 I talked to my doctor about this and her reply was that my health care plan's emergency services will not turn anyone away. That said, there would still be bills.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> My lap band surgical group said that they are contemplating a supplemental coverage plan for self-pays that would cover slippage re-op or removal, but they have not offered it yet and that I would have to pay if needed.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> You should ask the group, but the chance of complications is slim and depends, in part, on your compliance with the lap-band protocols.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> After almost six months and a great time losing, I would not let that stop me.

MacMadame 81 Posted May 30, 2008 Will your insurance cover any emergency removals or care? Mine doesn't. I specifically asked about it. If the surgery excluded, so is everything related to it including all pre- and post-op testing and services I get due to complications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
