I had a peer to peer review and resubmitted monday. Waiting on insurance again Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Yes my fitness pal is what I use and most people I know. The dr can get them all printed out from that app.I heard anthem is much easier to get approved with Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Yes I started last aug, and I've submitted 3 times. It's like pulling teeth with mhs to know exactly what they want. Everytime they've come back with more and more tests. And I submitted the logs 2 months ago, and they're just saying not enough. It's aggravating!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I was denied today bc they asked after my 1st approval for the food and exercise logs but they wouldn't say how many they wanted. So we turned in 3 months worth. They also denied bc I had a low PFT, bc I was sick. So peer to peer is going to happen now. I'm 10 months in, and still fighting MHS Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Hi. Im north of indy. Going to IU North Hosp. Im on month 3 of 6 diet. Looking for some buddies Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using the BariatricPal App I'm in evansville! ! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Yeah I never tried on the meds. I was on all mine for 3 yrs, and I struggle some days now. But for the main part from all I've heard and went thro, the psychiatrist wants to make sure you are in a good place now and understand what ur getting into. That u realize it isn't isn't a quick fix and u have to put in the work Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I got off all mine a year before I started. My primary dr thought it could cause problems getting approved. I was on lortabs, xanax, and welbutrin. But I never asked my dr. Sorry I couldn't help more Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I have Indiana MHS, and am working on turning in more tests for the 3rd time. Was wondering if anyone else has Mhs, and if so can you tell me how it went or is going for you with the approval. I go for my 9 month app tomorrow, and only required 6months originally by insurance Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Awesome. Congrats!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Yeah being approved doesn't seem to be an issue. It's just the back and forth with insurance. Them saying do these tests after 6 months, then 2 months later they need more is what's frustrating. They need to decide what they want the 1st time, instead of adding more each submission. I know I will get approved in the end, the wait just sucks.

Was denied last month saying the wanted an echo test, food journals, and pulmonary function test. Resubmitted, and 3 days later they want more stuff. Now a cardiac clearance and drug test. 8 months into this, and frustrated. Trying to stay positive. :/ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Deaconess. I'm in evansville. Where are you located Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Would you rather not have any insurance? Imagine paying for every dime of your healthcare without it. Absolutely not. I know I am blessed to have the insurance that I have. As I've said I am optomistic, it is just disheartening when you keep expecting something to happen and it doesnt. That's a normal reaction. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I do not have any history. I was sick after xmas and they thought it was pneumonia, but wasn't so put me on an inhaler for the time being. But previous to this, I've had no health problems besides high blood pressure. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I have HIP plus through Indiana. They have the norm 6months requirements with tests, nut, psychologist evaluation, and went through everything needed quickly. So at my 6 month visit submitted and 2 months later still waiting. Just disheartening Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App I have HIP plus also. MDWise. What carrier do you have? I've been hoping to find someone that is farther along than me in the process with the same insurance so I can get an idea of what I have to look forward to. It's not looking like I'll have an easy road ahead of me...I have MHS. They have several requirements to do for your 6 months. Then after they keep adding more when I submit. Waiting now for the heart hospital to call with an appointment for my clearance and drug test. Then Resubmitted Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Thanks. I've done all that as well. I just hate that insurance requires certain things, then when you are done with that and ready, they keep adding more. But I'm staying optomistic Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

That is a very weird place :/ lolYes 2 hours of testing. Was insane. Then went back for a read on how I answered and my personality chart she got off it. Pretty spot on!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Mine was a face to face conversation with lots of questions, then 2 tests that took 2 hours!! I have an addiction, anxiety, and depression background, and I passed. (All under control now) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Got submitted back to insurance again today. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Thanks!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Best of luck to you as well. Hopefully I get approved this time!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

My Dr recommends Optisorce. Is around 39$ at walgreens for a month supply. I don't have a surgery date, waiting on approval, so haven't started taking. Right now taking a multi Vitamin and the Biotin. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

They wanted more info. food journals and exercise journals, fulmonary function test, a stool test and echo.I did all the previous requirements such as 6months w dr nut and personal trainer, did the 5% weight loss, psychologist evaluation, and whatnots. So hopefully this time it goes. I'm not at 8 months into this. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App
