Paperwork Sent To Insurance Company For Approval
IMSKINNY replied to BeatrizS1974<3 sleeve's topic in Insurance & Financing
Hey, guys, guess what? I was driving today (July 3) when my surgeon's office called and said I AM APPROVED for surgery!! OMG! I am so surprised! I had already made plans to go to MX after I spoke with the insurance company last week and they were soooo negative! I am still in shock!! Thanks to all of you for your advice and well wishes! And to everyone waiting on the insurance to respond, stay positive! It will happen! -

The cost is 8700 if you're having the sleeve. 1000 deposit and the balance due when you arrive. My surgeon's self pay price is 14,000. -

I felt like telling the nurse if you don't pay for the surgery, you will be paying for knee replacement surgery in the not too distant future! One way or another, you will pay!

I paid my deposit to Dr. Alvarez and my surgery will be in August. The insurance process has worn me down and I don't feel like dealing with it anymore! I could be halfway to my goal weight before the insurance company gets its head out of the sand. Anybody going to Dr. A around 8/29 or 8/30?

Hey, I called the insurance company today after waiting a week to call and was told that the nurse reviewed the info and submitted it to the medical examiner for review. I asked how long the review would take and she said that the nurse had contacted the reviewer today to see if more clinical info was needed, but had not received a return call. What do you guys think about that? Is that good or bad? -

Which Dr. Did You Pick. Why? Why Not The Others?
IMSKINNY replied to WLJourneyJ's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Talking to each surgeon is a good idea. I did a video conference with Dr. Alvarez. Also speak with previous patients and ask their opinion. I decided to use Dr. Alvarez, if I am denied by my insurance. -
