Yes, they actually do cover bariatric surgery in many cases! You just have to meet their specific health criteria. Good luck on your journey! 👍

While they might cover the main surgery, remember there are costs for pre-op consultations, blood tests, and follow-ups. Budget for those hidden out-of-pocket expenses beforehand.

Actually, they do cover it, but the documentation process is a major headache, yaar. You have to prove you tried diet plans for months first.

They do cover it under strict medical guidelines. As someone with thyroid issues, I suggest getting a complete hormone workup done first as that can affect approval.

I know how overwhelming it feels to make this decision. Yes, they cover it, but the wait times for approvals can be emotionally exhausting, so hang in there.

I was looking into this too! They do cover it, but you usually need to show a history of supervised weight loss programs before they say yes.

From what I have researched online, Molina covers bariatric surgery under their managed care plans, but the rules vary slightly from state to state.

Don't stress about the approval process too much. If your health requires this surgery, your medical team will help you gather the necessary proof for Molina.

Yes, Molina covers it if it is medically necessary, such as having a BMI over 40. Make sure your primary doctor documents all your health issues like high BP or diabetes clearly.

Yes, they do pay for the operation if you are very sick due to weight. My cousin got it done and the company helped with most of the hospital bill.
