as an option does anyone know how much extra it is? I own my own business and I want to get a group insurance plan. How much extra is it to add on other benefits such as wls?I talked to one of my students that works for blue cross blue shield and she said you can pick different benefits if you want to add on things. She just didn't know how much extra it would be.

You cannot add on bariatric surgery as an option.Most insurance companies have a choice of several plans from the basic up to the comprehensive for group policies. The surgery may be included on the comprehensive plans but it will depend on the company and your area.The premium for any particular plan will depend on the size of the group and if the group is fewer than 20 it will also depend on the general health of the group. One person having a BMI great enough to be a candidate for the surgery may increase the premium for everyone in the group by $70 per month for a group of 15 or it could increase the premium by $300 for a group of 3.
