How was your approval process with Neighborhood Health Plan of Mass? The waiting is killing me????????????????????????????
-
Hi! I got approval with NHP in about 2 weeks time. I had a bmi of 40 with sleep apnea as a co-morbidity. I had the surgery on 8/11 and have lost 34 pounds thus far. Good luck with the approval process. I hope you hear soon. The waiting was tough but once you get the approval things move rather quickly. Where are you having the procedure done? I had mine through Brigham and Womens at Faulkner Hospital. Dr. Neil Ghushe was my surgeon.

I'm borderline on my BMI ( it's 39.5)My insurance (NHP) covers the surgery if your BMI is less than 40 but with a comorbidity. I'm going to do a home sleep study to see if I have sleep Apnea. I'm just a few pounds shy of a 40 BMI, if I'm able to reach the necessary weight to up my BMI, will the surgeon submit that number to the insurance company or the lower one? Im not sleeping until I hear of an approval from my ins company. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@Amyd103- what insurance do you have? Luckily, does not require the 6 month supervised weight plan. What happens when your BMI is borderline already and then I lose weight for the pre op...? I'm a nervous wreck until I know I have approval. I'm sure I'm not alone

Does anyone know if NHP is difficult in getting approvals? I have a BMI of 39.7 I'm having an at home sleep study done but I'm worried if it comes back negative for sleep apnea. Thoughts? -

I've been trying to gain a few more pounds. Which weight do they submit to the insurance company? I'm assuming it would be the highest one. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
