Anyone have any problems with Medica?



Recommended Posts

Hi. I'm new here and was wondering if anyone has had any problems or has anyone has an easy time getting approved with Medica insurance? At my consultation I was told that that was the weight that insurance would consider when deciding to approve the surgery. I was at like 40.6 BMI, which is over their 40 BMI requirement. Everything else they require I will be able to meet. I'm penciled in to have surgery at the U of M at the end of Sept. I'm just concerned or I should say worried about whether they will try to deny based on the fact that I'm just over the requirement with no co-morbilities. I'm no longer at that BMI because my surgeon would like for me to lose 10 lbs before surgery as is required of all his patients, so since that day I'm down about 13 lbs so now I definitely wouldn't meet the BMI requirement but my surgeon's office is convinced that the insurance companies don't see subsequent weights after that first consultation weight. Thanks all!
