For medical reasons I am wanting to get this surgery done and I was wondering what insurance carriers cover gastric bypass. I am in Califorina and I'm having trouble finding an insurance that covers it. My husband works for walmart dc and has insurance through blue cross and because they buy there own insurance it doesn't cover this surgery.

We were thinking about dropping the walmart blue cross insurance when open inrollment starts again but we're having trouble finding out about who will take me. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or know what I can do? I don't want to wait for years before having the surgery done...I'm scared....

Also, has anyone financed the surgery? How hard is that to do? I really need help. Mona

HI and welcome.
It's time to do a little detective work and be your own advocate. Find out what your options are through your husbands employer. Do some research into each, contact the surgeon's office you would most likely use and see if they have any advice. The new rules for covering the surgery are causing a "pause" in the demand for GBS. Most surgeon's offices will be most accomodating with regards to this information, because they are looking for patients. Good luck!
