Some group policies that included bariatric surgery (if medically necessary) | | Places that I knew of (national and regional) where most of the group employee health insurance policies did NOT have an exclusion against bariatric surgery ( and no this is NOT a comprehensive lists, but speaks in generalities) : JPMorganChase Bank (most of their PPO policies, HMO's are toss ups - note they offer benefits for FT & PT- Home Depot (have benefits for FT & PT )
- Charming Shoppes (Lane Bryant stores - their employees are having it so often now that they can barely wear the LB clothes anymore)
- Starbucks (benefits for FT & PT )
- Continental Airlines
- Methodist Hospital in Houston (offers benefits for FT & PT)
I used to have a quick list when I worked at the insurance company - but as I think of more, I'll add more names. Happy Band Journeys to all
