Big Fat Denial!



Recommended Posts

So I went on the Tricare website today & saw.....NOT APPROVED! I cannot even begin to tell you how upset I am! My surgeons office didn't even know until I called them. So we won't know the reason until tuesday...I sure hope this turns around, my surgery was scheduled for Nov. 19th! :(

Don't give up! I was denied by UHC two days before my surgery. My surgeon had to have a 1:1 conference with the approval department head. They overturned the denial the day before my surgery. It could be the fault of some tiny paperwork mistake. Mine was bc my surgeon put "hypertension" instead of "uncontrolled hypertension".

It's very stressful, that I understand, but persevere and remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Thanks everyone for being supportive & positive. I'm so stressed but, I know in my heart this is suppose to happen for me! I have a young child that I want to be here for....So I'm not giving up that easy!

My prayers are with you. I was denied twice. I finally asked them if I needed to hire an attorney and went through the whole list of medical problems I have and asked them if they are prepared to either pay one price for the band or continue paying for my medical for the rest of my life. The third time was a charm and they had me approved and in surgery within 2 weeks. Hope all goes well with you.

Dot give up. I have tricare and I was approved. With tricare you have to have a certain bmi to be approved. Or have a higher bmi with an underlying condition such as high blood pressure.

Also make sure that your primary wrote it up right.

Never heard why I was denied. Surgeon did a peer to peer on the 13th & I've been waiting impatiently....UGH, this has been really emotional!

Thank you to ALL for the support!
