One more step closer... I think

[TXSunflower 0]

Hi everyone,

I had my initial visit with Dr. Jay (NeWeigh) and he issued some lab work, a sleep study and a visit with my internal medicine doctor. I immediately made an appointment with my int. med doctor and she ordered an EKG and chest x-ray. I completed the labs, xray and ekg and am scheduled for the sleep study on October 1st. I'm doing my part to get approved.

THEN... I get a letter in the mail from NeWeigh stating they wrote my insurance for the approval process. It was my understanding that I had to have all of these tests done first before my insurance would approve me. I am confused.

The little tests were all "out of pocket" expenses because I have a high deductible on my health insurance. The sleep study is going to cost so much that they have to split it up into 4 monthly payments.

Do I really need the sleep study if the insurance approves?

Is it normal for them to send in approval while other testing is going on?

I know I can call them and ask all of these questions, but I wanted to see if anyone else had the same thing going on or maybe went through?

I'm not being impatient, I've been big for the last 20 yrs, what's another month going to hurt LOL

Thank you all.
