Default Insurance

I am not sure if this was brought up before (I searched to no avail). But . . . I was wondering if it would be benefical to the Newbees searching for info to have a thread for the different types of insurances to use for WLS.

Some of the info provide could be as follows: (not factual info, testing only)

Type of insurance used: BCBS of CA PPO
How long did it take for approval: 6 mons.
Out of pocket expense? $1500
Special Requirements: 6 month supervised diet
Unusual Circumstances: Denied once. Must follow-up continuously.
How would you rate/would you recommend this insurance carrier: 5/NO.

Hello

I just thought I would suggest that you post your thread under one of the other headings. This catagory "feedback and suggestions" doesn't seem to get much traffic. I looked at your post because it is so rare that one is listed there.
Have a good day
