My surgeon is supposed to call on Monday and do a Peer to Peer. I'm hoping that works.

I called Insurance and they advised to have my surgeon do the Peer to Peer and see what happens since I do have those Morbidities that should qualify me. in the mean time i guess i need sit tight and if that doesn't work i have to appeal. Thank you.

does the Lindstrom group work with someone in Florida or are they just for NY. My Insurance just denied me and am so devastated. I spent money i did not have getting behind on bills just to get the tests and doctor visits needed to submit it to the insurance. United Healthcare did not cover most of these. i need all the help i can get to appeal this. I was denied because I did not have a BMI of over 40 for the past 5 years. I have had over 35 most three of the 5 but i have had Hypertension, sleep apnea, and now diabetes. plus gout and PCOS.

my surgery was scheduled for September 20th and was submitted for approval on Tuesday and yesterday the Insurance denied it. I am so upset and depressed. I had to pay out of pocket for most of the doctor visits, nutritionist, and tests I needed done in order to submit to Insurance, and I really couldn't afford it. Now I paid for nothing. Can someone advise as to what I can do to appeal besides writing them a letter? they denied it due to me not having a BMI of over 40 for the past 5 years. I have had over 35 and have Diabetes, Hypertension, severe sleep apnea which are the three major factors if order to get approved. Can anyone give some advise specially the ones that had been initially denied, PLEASE.. My insurance is United Healthcare.

Hi there. Congratulations!!! I have not been approved yet but my surgery has been tentatively scheduled for the same day. September 20th. I really hope I get approved. the paperwork is being submitted August 31st. good luck!
