  • You need to talk to the state insurance commissioner... You have a grace period to pay and with proof of payment, the company really has no choice but to reinstate you... Without any details I can't g

How could your insurance drop you? Are you planning to purchase insurance on your own? If so, none of those plans will cover WLS. Without more info on the previous ins...hard to answer....Sorry you are going through this.

My insurance dropped me last year, and I had to go back to the shitty company I worked for before with awesome insurance. I know how shitty you feel right now, so just keep looking for something better

Well it has to do with payments they claim they didn't get and I had proof they did and did numerous appeals, still dropped me. That insurance was on my own and they covers it! The one with with job didn't, if that what you meant. Thanks

I think Metro plus. What state are you in?

Yes...wow! I've never seen one that did. But that may be the catch. I hope you can find another plan. Watch for exclusion criteria before signing up...good luck!

I stay in Texas

You might be able to appeal being dropped with your state insurance coverage commission. It will be very difficult to find coverage that won't charge you a lot of money because of your weight. Next year the ACA will kick in and you should be able to find affordable insurance, but I don't know if it will cover WLS.

I can research that..I'm not really worried the cost its just geeting covered because of my weight.

You need to talk to the state insurance commissioner... You have a grace period to pay and with proof of payment, the company really has no choice but to reinstate you... Without any details I can't give too much more info then that but I would definitely give a call to your state's dept of banking and insurance and find out your rights as a consumer.

I agree with the previous poster " Imaloser" so get on it and fight for your self! What they are doing is not right.
