I know all insurances are different but wondering if anyone has guidance. I’m in Florida but have BCBS Texas. I have a BMI of 40.6. I can’t seem to get an answer to whether or not I lose procedure coverage if I lose weight on the preop diet and my bmi drops before 40. I’ve called my insurance twice, and reviewed the plan documents. Incidentally the plan documents do not require a diet at all preop. The insurers I’ve spoken to just recommend reviewing the documents but say they can provide no more guidance at this time. What should my next step be? If I don’t lose any weight on the preop diet is that an issue?

Hello, in the early stages of researching my options and coverage. Appears that neither my nor my husbands insurance covers bariatric surgery. It looks like this is fairly standard for Florida insurance plans (and that many other states have mandated its coverage, but not some of the southeast states). Have many people had success with their employer insurance in Florida covering it?
