Working with Your Insurance Provider: A Guide to Seeking Weight-loss Surgery

The OAC is excited to offer “Working with Your Insurance Provider: A Guide to Seeking Weight-Loss Surgery.”

This guide is designed to provide individuals with the knowledge needed to successfully work with their insurance provider and become an advocate for change. It offers readers information discussing the effects of obesity and morbid obesity, tips for working with your insurance provider, detailed information concerning the treatment options available for morbid obesity and much more.

This is an excellent tool for people who are morbidly obese and seeking weight-loss surgery. People rely on their insurance provider to assist them in the process of seeking access to safe and effective medical treatment. Many times this process can be difficult when working with insurance providers. In addition, the process can often seem complicated, and physically and emotionally draining.

I just filed bankruptcy and am short $2000 for my surgery. Is there anyone out there that will finance me?

Hi :(

I am looking to see what advice you are giving regarding getting Insurance to cooperate! My insurance keeps going back and forth with me, I need a 5yr BMI over 40, I don't. You need a comorbidity, you don't. I'm so confused. You link doesn't work, would you mind emailing it to me?

Thanks,

Stephanie
