Good/Bad News denial/approval



Recommended Posts

So I called my insurance and was denied but its not the end of the world as I look at it. All I need to do is resubmit a letter from another pcp other than my surgeon for medical clearance and that I really need bariatric surgery so I'm getting all of this done this week and I will find out in 5 days if I am reconsidered fingers and toes crossed lol Good luck everyone who is waiting on approval and if you are denied keep moving forward ... insurance companies try to bring you down show them you will not give up.

I'm sorry you were denied! You definitely have the right attitude about it! What insurance do you have?

I have Cigna and they were really good. Once I got all the required paperwork I was approved within the week. I have no doubt when you get all your ducks in a row they will approve you!! Good luck.

For some reason i have read a lot about Cigna denying ppl on the first submission but on the 2nd or 3rd submission they typically approve, so you are not alone and def keep pushing girl! We can do this.

You can do it!

I got denied at first but then got Approved after 3 hours of talking with them. So follow up, and persistence is Key! Don't wait on the coordinator

Call the insurance yourself to check.

Sounds like you got this!

Good luck!
