Insurance Sucks!!

Oct 15, 2010

So after checking with my insruance company, they don't cover the Gastric Sleeve or the DS unless the DS is done as 1 surgery and not 2. BOOOOOOO . So now I have to change insurance companies. The good news is my employer has open enrollment next month and we have a choice between Anthem, Aetna, and Kaiser! I have done my research and Aetna covers it under their own provisions and so does Kaiser. Switching to Aetna b/c they will take all the referrals and diagnosis I have received already and Kaiser won't. Kaiser will make me start my 6 month process over in Jan and then have to re-do everything so I won't be eligible for the surgery until Aug or later of 2011, so Kaiser is out of the question!!

So here goes to getting all my research done and going with Aetna!!
