Welcome to a new episode of the Life Change Podcast. Today, we will chat about a topic that is often enigmatic to many - the world of insurance and how it ties into weight loss surgery. We go into the history of health insurance, from its meager beginnings in the 1930s to how it shapes our decisions today. We'll decipher insurance terms like deductibles, copays, and out of pockets, and uncover why not all insurance policies cover weight loss surgeries. Take a listen - we hope this uncovers some of the mystery around insurance and bariatric surgery!
