Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | look into the government programs like family health plus. they do have a scale regarding your income, but since your just arriving into the usa, it might take you a bit to get private insurance through work. i'm not sure of the programs offered in that area, so just inquire about it. can't hurt, right??? hope i was of some help to ya. everything i rather expensive in the states if you ask me though!!!!! good luck. LOL, |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | ok first off are you getting a healthcare benefits package with your job? that is the first thing you need to know. if you are, it will come with lists of providers or information about drs and hospitals which participate under your plan. if you arent, there are various govt plans that you can sign up for. it all depends on what you have access to in your area.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Yes the job comes with the whole Enchilada (LoL) but as you know everything is the exception, the first months I will probably will have to pay, I guess my main concern is to get the right doctor, I guess I should not be so concern about money if the benefit package covers it, I need to look into it. Last time I lived in the states I was single now with family that is my big concern. Kenyar Thank you for your support and ideas Luis

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Since you have medical with your job, wait until you see the benefit list, coinsurance and othe info before you worry about health care costs. Each plan is different and has it's own costs, coinsurance, max out of pockets and exclusions. It way to complicated to think about without first knowing what you have. You'll blow your brain up!! hope your move goes smooth.
