KHPE Flex POS (through work) covered?



Recommended Posts

I live in PA and have Keystone Health Plan East Flex POS (the cheapest plan) through work and wondering if anyone has experience, if it was covered, what requirements were needed etc. Awaiting my phone interview (this wed) and trying to figure out if anything would be covered (thinking sleeve at this time, if not the switch because I have to get my gallbladder removed anyways) BMI in the 40's, gallstones, and back pain with family hx of diabetes, high blood pressure and the sorts. My website doesn't mention anything for coverage or not coverage and they were closed when I tried to call. Just trying to figure it all out! Thanks!

Every insurance plan is required to supply you with a Summary of Benefits document. Normally it can be found online but can be difficult to find. Occasionally it is in print and mailed, but this has become a rarer thing nowadays.

A summary of benefits regarding your health insurance may have been given to you with hiring paperwork, or during an open enrollment period at your place of employment.

Certainly you can call, but you should be able to have this and know what you would be expected to pay for all tests, imaging studies, inpatient stays, etc.

I have been able to find basic paperwork that states like gyno, therapy, nutrition, well visits etc but doesnt mention weight loss when I googled it it it just mentioned it under things that need to be authorized

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
