  1. Medicare Coverage For Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

    smitty72766 replied to monty's topic in Insurance & Financing
    Having worked in the Medicare Field and currently being on an Advantage Plan I can tell you thgat Advantage Plans MUST cover everything that Medicare covers. They are then allowed to add whatever coverages they want. So just because medicare doesn't cover something doesn't mean an Advantage Plan won't/can't.

  2. Gesinger Gold Medicare Advantage

    smitty72766 posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
    Does anyone have any experience with Geisinger Gold Med Advantage Plan? I am 45 and disabled but meet all the criteria for surgery...BMI 51, GERD, elevated cholesterol, etc...

  3. Double Yellow & Frustrated

    smitty72766 replied to Tenshi's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Does anyone know if Geisinger Gold Health Plan covers the VSG? I am disabled and need several back and neck surgeries due to two car accidents. The kicker is that they won't do the back surgeries until I get the weight off but I can;t get the weight off because my back is so messed up. I really want the sleeve and I have Geisinger Gold Medicare Advantage. Do they cover the sleeve?
