Has Global Health Ever Paid for Surgery?

I have been trying since last June to see a surgeon for bariatric surgery. Global health has continued to deny my request to meet the surgeon and all together denied the surgery request by my Primary Care DR. My primary care doc and his nurse were very helpful to get all paperwork sent in to Global Health with the request. I also had their requirements met with another support letter from my Endocrinologist. So now I am moving forward as a self pay patient. My appeal was even denied. I am starting to believe that Global Health states that they will pay for bariatric surgery just to get new members to sign up. Has anyone else had any luck with Global Health?? I would be very interested to know.
Also, should I send a letter to the Insurance Commission?
