Question by luckyboi317: What private health insurance programs cover gastric bypass?
I’ve got group health and found out that only employer insurance programs through them include bariatric coverage. Does anyone know of a health insurance program that covers gastric bypass which I can buy on my own without needing to do so through an employer?

That will depend upon in which state you reside.

If you live in a guaranteed issue state I don’t think any of them cover the surgery. If you don’t live in a guaranteed issue state there may or may not be plans that cover the surgery. The problem you’ll have, though, is if your BMI is enough that you are actually medically eligible for the surgery your height and weight will be way above the height and weight guidelines of every insurance company.
