  1. Surgeons And Insurance Whats The Deal?

    Anissa posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hello everyone, This is my first post so bare with me. I have a BMI of 36 with high Bp and triglycerides. I have been to see a number of surgeons and they all say the same thing I don't qualify and so they won't even submit to insurance. When I called my insurance they won't provide anything in writing but said I meet requirements, I called them back again and then they say I don't qualify. I would like my surgeon to submit to insurance on the off chance that I get approved or at least get it from insurance company in writing. Am I crazy in thinking this way? what has been your experience in dealing with surgeons and insurance.
