Insurance that will cover surgery?

Can anyone that lives in VA, suggest individual self pay health insurance that will cover the surgery?

    unfourtunatly va is a state that opted out of coverage for bariatric surgery so you will have a hard time finding a plan that covers it

    It depends on the plan. If you are paying for insurance out of pocket, look at plans that offer bariatric coverage as part of the plan. Not all do.

    Speak with a broker or check healthcare.gov.
