While parts of your total cost may be covered, vBloc Therapy is not specifically included in most insurance plans. According to Enteromedics, the makers of vBloc Therapy, work is being done to get vBloc added to insurance plans across the country.

However, vBloc may be able to help you get some (or all) of your procedure costs paid for in certain circumstances.

vBloc Patient Representatives will help you determine whether your insurance will cover any part of your surgery. They will also help you apply for insurance coverage and appeal denials, if necessary.

Stay tuned for that news, because if it hits, this will be one heck of a rocket ride up

I'm a nutritionist who has worked with thousands of obese and morbidly obese patients for 8 years and many have had failed gastric bypass procedures that did not help them much at all. I see a huge market for this new technology!!!!! People will do anything to lose weight and there are many many people that urgently need this to save their lives! $18,000 is nothing when it comes to life and death...
