Does anyone know about Fidelis Care NY Health insurance coverage on weight loss surgery?

Question

Is there anyone with any info if fidelis covers this and if so what type of things d they require you to do in order for it to be covered?

Answer 1

I don't know about Fidelis specifically, but you may be required to attend a seminar, get a psychiatric evaluation, and have a medial clearance. Some other things you also may need to have are a sleep apnea study, cardiac evaluation, documentation regarding co-morbidities (obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, GE reflux, arthritis or sleep apnea), or documentation regarding failed supervised diet and exercise attempts as well as gym memberships, Weight Watchers receipts, and grocery receipts.
