You can look it up? Search Bariatric surgery , whatever state your in Aetna MVP insurance authorization . Should list the requirements


The best thing to do is call yourself. Every plan is different. I had United and thought that I would be covered by my employer plan excluded bariatric surgery. Lots of self insured employers (BCBS etc just manage the claims) exclude bariatric surgery so you really have to check. Once you go to a surgeon they also verify your benefits but is quicker to call yourself. Sometimes there is a 6 month weight loss period and sometimes 3 months. You also want to know this up front.



What is Aetna MVP? An HMO or medicare plan? Or a ppo?



It varies by state and insurance company. Call them to find out.
