I just spoke with my insurance co. who 6 weeks ago said they do not pay for lapband surgery. Well guess what? They do pay and so does my secondary. :omg: Gee the next thing you know they will be fighting over who will pay for me. Thank goodness the Dr. I choose is a PPO for both plans. I can hardly believe it. I keep thinking I will wake up and nobody will pay. The insurance Co. said I should know in 30 days. I hope I dont' go crazy between now and then.

:)Well how did you find out that they will cover it?

Did it take a while? to find out that is.

Well good luck. I have UHC and they don't cover the band not this administrative organization. My employee said they did but they don't! go figure!

Do you think it is worth having a secondary insurance?

Congrats to you! I wish my insurance would have covered it!

I asked for a letter stating it was not a covered cost so my secondary ins. would pay. I waited and waited (6 weeks)calling every other day. Finally I received a letter stating I have coverage. I called and they said they did not know who told me it was not a covered charge, but it is. I am now in the waitng process, I hope they do not change their minds again. To answere the question if I think secondary ins. is worth having I say yes. I am covered by my husband at no additional cost.

Hope this helps.
