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.  |

| Becka, Send it Certified Mail so it requires a signature. I have a friend who has been fighting with Tricare to cover her meds and four times they told her they never received the request. Now she send everything to them Certified mail so when they tell her they never got it, she can tell them who signed for it. I really think they pull this crap so you finally give up and they don't have to do anything about it. My out of pocket would have been lower with Tricare, but since Blue Cross/Blue Sheild is my primary Tricare will not cover anything for me. I miss the days of Champus. What my primary did not cover they did. Not the same since Tricare! Now with your delay and mine, we still could end up surgery buddies!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Lisa they do have to see me again just to resend it but I remember talking to my doc the last time and she said some times it takes 2 or 3 times before they get the fax...I think Jeane is right they want you to give up before you get the actual surgery. |
