Hello everyone! I am curious to know if anyone has magnacare and can tell me whether you were approved or not, and the process, etc. I haven't contacted them yet because of the hurricane but am planning to tomorrow.

Thanks so much!

For future reference for any MangaCare members- I called and the representative couldn't find out where it said anything about being covered for bariatric surgery. The representative , Diana, said to send in my predetermination and they'd go from there. I'm not sure if this is just through my plan through my job or not but I wanted to let you all know.

I have magnacare also and my surgeons office told me I need 6 months of supervised weight loss. I've completed 2 months so July will be my last 6 month visit - I see this was November just after hurricane ... What ever happened? Were you approved?

Yep! I was approved and I had my surgery on February 6!

I'm a little late responding... But did you need 6 months prep before surgery?! I was told by the office I'm going to that I need 6 months of weight loss monitored before approval- did you?

No. My insurance is run through my union but I called my insurance company and no preop diet was required

ireallywannabthin- did you have to do 6months of weigh ins? i have magnacare through my union as well.
