View Full Version : surgery, no insurance?
|
brit 11-25-2002, 05:12 PM Is it possible? Has anyone looked into this? I have been thinking about getting some king of 'weight loss' sugery, I am over 100lbs over weight. My insurance does not cover this, I only have a basic student policy. How much do these types of surgery cost? Is it possible to pay for it yourself? Sponsor Jabber 11-25-2002, 06:10 PM In the USA a 100lbs overweight is Morbid Obesity and by law the insurance companys must comply especily if that person is in grave danger of dying, other countries I don't know, I do know if you bombbared them with letters from your MD, Nurtionilst and shhrink stating you have no other way out they may change their mind, good luck kiehn 11-25-2002, 08:23 PM I've never heard of tht law before, how interesting. Where would a person find documentation of this law? Cause I don't think my doctor would believe me if I told her such a thing.

It only states that your employer has to provide you with reasonable accomdations. |
