I Just Got Approved!

:clap2: After months of insurance tango, I have just received my insurance approval!

November 9, 2006.

To say I'm excited would be putting it mildly.

Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get lucky!

YEE HAW!

Congratulations Winner. Now I have to ask which insurance company do you have and which State do you reside in? Always curious to know, because I'm pre-band. My pre determination letter was submitted to CIGNA, HMO, TX today. It could take up to 30 days for a response.

CONGRATULATIONS!! I know exactly how you feel. I went through the entire process including hiring an attorney. And now it's all behind me as it soon will be for you.

The best of luck to you.

Thanks!

I'm in Jacksonville, FL.

The insurance is Humana PPO.

I'm so thrilled!

I'd be happy to help in anyway I could. Until I got this approval today I was on pins and needles awaiting the Imperial Insurance Company's verdict.

pumpkin,

I too have Cigna HMO in TX ... they approved both my original WLS and the revision. They didn't take anywhere near the 30 days that they could have but it take Dr. Bryce getting on the phone for a 'peer-to-peer' review. Once the docs get the chance to talk to one another, the approval was very speedy.

Wishing you success!

Cahuber, Your results look incredible. When were you banded?

Oh and by the way - (heehee) I got the approval call today from the insurance director at AIGB!! I have an appt on Tuesday, 10/17, with the surgeon Dr. Richard Carter in Arlington. I was told that I'd probably be scheduled a week after that!! I'm so excited.
