Hello everyone, I'm currently on my 5th month of my 6 month supervised medically supervised diet. I'm almost done and wondering if anyone had out of pocket fees even with insurance. I have BCBS in San Diego, CA. Thanks

Thank you to everyone who shared your experience, I truly appreciate it. :-D

Wow. I can't believe you guys are getting your insurance to pay anything. I have a state employees Blue Cross (in sunny Florida) policy and they won't pay for squat. Either that or my surgeon is lying to me. Quite frankly, it's kind of a toss up on that one. Anyway, here's a free piece of legal advice, worth every penny of what you paid for it. Any time you get a bill from a hospital (and this doesn't just apply to bariatric surgery) go straight to the finance office and INSIST on a itemized bill. I promise you 9 times out of 10, it is wildly inaccurate and you can use that to argue them down on the final tally.

Good luck,

Tom

Thank you BajaMed :-)
