What is an ideal candidate for weight loss surgery?

Will my car insurance pay for surgical weight loss surgery?

  • i live in michigan and have no fault benefits. i was involved in a car accident 2 years ago and lost my leg resulting in weight gain and need to stabilize my weight to wear prostheis. my doctor wants me to get the surgery and has scheduled an appointment with the weight loss clinic.

  • Answer:

    Probably not. It's pretty darned hard to prove that your caloric intake didn't cause the weight gain.

You should have had an attorney and your car insurance company should have already settled it. If you already received a payment and signed a document, you can't go back and claim more.

It is very doubtful. VERY doubtful.

No, they will not. Call your insurance agent and ask him.

Speak with an insurance company official. This is too serious to ask other people's opinion. Only the insurance company knows what is in your policy. Not all insurance policies have the same insurance coverage.

No, they won't. If the doctor will document that the surgery is medically necessary, then you could claim it as a medical deduction on your tax return, however only the portion in excess of 7.5% of your adjusted gross income is deductible.

Probably not.

I don't think so, but why wouldn't you call your insurance company and ask them?

I doubt they will cover this surgery. If you really think this is a possibility, call your insurance company and ask. Good luck.
