What insurance is best????

Hey all,

I'm new so bear with me lol. I am getting a new insurance in the near future and wanted to know which has the best rate for band approval/ My new job offers Anthem, which I havent enrolled in yet. Im hoping I will get approved since I have ahigh BMI and a long history of obesity. Thanks guys! much appreciated.

    I have anthem bcbs and have no issues ... some of other insurance make you go on a doctor supervised diet for 3-9 months before they approve you for surgery. Just be sure to check with the insurance before going through the whole process

    Anthem Blue Cross is what I have and the entire process took me about 3 months. They are great, it was no struggle :]

    Good Luck!
