I have heard alt of folks are covered under bcbs of tx..but its up ti the employer

I have BCBS TRS ActiveCare2 (Texas Educators). Surgery is covered, but with $5000 Bariatric Copay along with 20% of procedure costs, up to $4000, $150/day hospital fee, $150 per visit to nutritionist, psychologist, etc.

Hope this helps!

With my insurance I only had to come out of pocket with$300 for the surgery and I have BCBS I did have to go to my PCP and take a psych eval and get cleared by the Cardiac and Pulm doctor and I am set to have surgery 8/28

I don't think I have a hernia though..do u have to pay that all up front the 4000

I did have to pay the $4k all at once when I checked into hospital for surgery but I used Care Credit for it and financing over 2 years.

He told me 95% of people have hernias but most don't know about it. He just has to do an egd to tell if you have a hernia.
