Do any health insurance companies pay for a Wii system?

Question

I'm curious because I heard a doctor state that in the next few years they would be prescribing them and insurance would be paying for them to help overweight and stroke patients.

Answer 1

the wii is a game system, why dont doctors prescribe a gym membership instead of encouraging them to play video games

and no, insurance will not pay for a patients video game system, that is the most retarded thing I have ever heard

EDIT: our insurance company went into a $100 million dollar loss this year and they will definately not pay for a game system that has not roll in loosing weight except for moving your arm with a remote in your hand like a weird person. and the wii is again a game system, do you hear me, game system, not an excercise machine.

Answer 2

hahaha! LMAO that is funny.

i doubt you could prescribe a gaming system especially when everyone else is forking out around £300 for one!

either that doctor is smoking weed or the health insurance companies are smoking it!

Answer 3

WHAT!? That makes no sense at all!! That would be an insult to the Wii.

Answer 4

Insurance companies pay for treatments and things by determining whether the treatment/item is medically necessary for treatment. For instance, if you get a CT scan for no reason, your insurance won't cover it and you'll pay for the entire thing. If you are experiencing migraines and you get a CT scan, it's much more likely that insurance will pay for the procedure.

Unless a doctor can prove that the Wii is medically necessary for treatment of the illness/disease/disorder in question, I wouldn't count on it being covered.
