Seanja 117 Posted January 26, 2013 I'm done with all the necessary requirements. Had my psych eval today. They are going to submit to my insurance next week. One thing I don't have is a letter from my Pcp. I asked my insurance coordinator and she said I didn't need it. Wish me luck. I have Aetna and my BMI is 46 I have high blood pressure and severe sleep apnea I should get approved no problem. 1 T'snewstart reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa's Hope 421 Posted January 26, 2013 I had all those co morbidities and still didn't get approved. My insurance is Coventry though and they pay for nothing even though they get 1200.00 in premiums a month from us and my husbands employer. :/ I was self pay.

Seanja 117 Posted January 26, 2013 Wow. Sorry to hear that. Why didn't they approve it? They must not approve weight lost surgeries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa's Hope 421 Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah. They don't. There are a lot of insurance companies that don't . I don't understand that either. Doesn't seem fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takingcontrol 467 Posted January 26, 2013 I didn't have any comorbitites & I only had 1 1/2 yrs of medical records..they wanted 2 but I hadn't seen the doc during that time! I wrote a letter & explained everything & they approved me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
