Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

welcome.
i believe the state/federal insurances are suppose to be easier?????
that's what i heard but not quite sure..
follow all of the surgeons requests to a tee, including weight loss prior to surgery & hopefully you'll get approved..

good luck,

Welcome and good luck. I don't have any insurance yet . I have an appointment with medicaid on March 10th, until then I can not say if it is easier or not. Hopefully it will be easier
