4 Comorbidities, 42 bmi, all clearances completed but no sleep apnea.
jayeedee posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My insurance has very few pre-approval reqs. I just need a nutrition clearance, psych clearance, and labs/upper GI... all completed last week, all cleared the beginning of this week. My surgeons office is saying that I will probably be denied though because I don't have sleep apnea. The hypertension, asthma, GERD and reflux are apparently not enough? Has anyone had this happen? I am trying to stay calm due to the hypertension stuff, but it is to the point where they are saying they don't even want to submit to insurance despite having the all clear on all the tests etc. Has anyone been approved despite not having sleep apnea? Should I push the surgeons office to submit to insurance any way? I don't want to make our relationship bad but I also want to see this through, even if I end up with a denial.
