vsgstacy

I have UHC and have the first call scheduled with the nurse on Tuesday. I know that if I go through the whole process and end up getting approved, with the way my insurance is set up, I'll still have to come out of pocket a lot. One of the questions on my list is to ask what my out of pocket expense will be... My question is this: If my insurance turns out to cost the same, or be more expensive than going to Mexico to get it done at a reputable bariatric surgery center, is there any benefit to still going through insurance? Part of me thinks it would be better to just go to Mexico so I don't have to go through the 6 month process and jump through all the hoops that the insurance will require. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
