Hey everyone, I have been trying to get the ball rolling for this surgery, but today I talked to both my Insurance company and the actual employer, and I have been told that they do not cover bariatric surgery (one lady said they cover nothing to do with weight reduction) and they dont cover fertility surgery.
When I asked, they said it just isn't included on my contract. I asked them "What if it was considered *LIFE THREATENING* by a doctor, and she said they still would not cover it (Worst Case Scenario ordeal).
I then called the employer and the lady told me she actually had it done 7 years ago before the company switched insurance companies (just last year or the year before), and she knows for a fact they wont cover obesity surgery no matter.
My mother and father are divorced, and I am a dependant on my fathers insurance (is obligated to). One option is we will be going to my lawyer to figure out what we can do legally. Like I said in my other post, my Mother's lawyer hates my father with a passion and can't believe my Mom married him. But anyways, based on incomes, my Father (who disowned me basically) is liable for 80% of anything medically that insurance will not cover. Then obviously excludes an expensive surgery, right?
Another option that my Mother brought up is she was thinking maybe Welfare helps. (she thinks one of her friends that had it done got support through the state to get his done). We are very low income, so we think that this could be an option as well.
Does anybody have any input of either of these two options? Also, please share any ideas you mean have or have done yourself!
Thanks!!
