Question
I am 5 foot 6 I weigh 340 pounds I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and I am hypertensive. Will Caresource approve my request to help pay for lapband surgery. I have issues walking more than a short distance, I have pain in my joints and I really need to get this weight off. So I really need to know my options.
Answer
Hi Marilyn:
Many insurance carriers do now pay for some type of weight surgery but all have specific guidelines.
Since each policy is different you need to call them and ask them what their requirements are.
Only way to know 100%.
Good Luck!
