If you have Lantern or Transcarent supplemental insurance, you may have the best benefits for bariatric surgery ever offered! Your specific benefits will depend on the options your employer chose, but typically these policies will pay for weight loss surgery with a BMI as low as 30 or more, and they pay for revision surgery if you suffer weight regain. Traditional insurance won’t do that. Traditional insurance often has pointless pre-operative requirements that these policies do not; haven't you dieted enough? So why should you have to do another 6-month physician supervised diet? Your employer wants you to have the surgery to get healthier so you can be a better employee and have lower healthcare costs in the future because many chronic health conditions will be cured with your weight loss. These policies even pay your travel expenses if you live far away, so you can come to the best surgeons in America. They pay for your gas and even airfare if needed, as well as hotel rooms. Perhaps best of all, most of these policies do not require a deductible or co-pay. For these patients, there may be absolutely no out-of-pocket expense!

These benefits almost seem too good to be true! Don’t miss this amazing opportunity if you have Lantern or Transcarent benefits through your employer. You never know when your employer will change their benefits.
