Hey there! First time poster, so appreciate any insight. I’m wondering if anyone has had luck getting an exception from their insurance when their employer requires 36 months of employment. I’m at two years currently, but am anxious to get vsg sooner rather than later. Has anyone tried getting an exception? What did that look like for you and were you approved? My health advocate with BCBS TX said to have my provider submit with the pre-Auth why it is medically necessary to have the surgery now. I have a bmi over 50 and sleep apnea. I hope that is enough to get the pre-auth. I’ve also already done a lot of the surgery approval work, like diet and medication, EGD, etc. Any, appreciate hearing if you had this requirement and got an exception or not. Thanks!
