The first place I wanted to go through has you find out if WLS will be covered. They told me it was an exclusion. When I asked the surgeons office if they would try to get it approved they said it wouldn’t happen and they won’t even try. I keep reading about people whose surgeons offices have all appealed again and again and their insurance finally says yes if they go through 6 months of stuff. I’m trying to find out if PacificSource is a hard NO or has anyone had success in getting it covered? Thanks!

Your employer prob excluded it to save money. Talk to HR to see if you can pay higher premium.

Thanks. That probably won’t happen, which is a bummer. I’ve only been there 4 months and still on “probation”. As it is I have to be there 2 more months before I can sign up for FMLA to protect my time off for the surgery and follow up appointments.
