Hi Cella, Thank you for replying. I am going to have to do some research on HMO's then. Thank you very much :confused:

Hello, I am brand new to the board. I see that people are getting the procedure covered by their insurance companies but I have also seen that some people say you need to make sure that your policy has the weight loss surgery rider. I want to start shopping around for insurance that I would have to pay individually because I am an independent contractor. I was going to look into getting Anthem but this leaves me at a loss because I have no way of knowing if these individual plans have this or not. financing as far as I know is not an option for me (due to credit score and rating) at this time but anything is possible. I would like to get insurance just because it would be nice to have since I don't have any but if I can also get this covered that would be an added bonus. Does anyone have individual insurance that would know about this? Thank you :redface:
