Denied for the 2nd time! :(

[Houston17 115]

Well, I called the insurance today to find out that I was denied again! Last year I didn't have the 5 year weight history- skipped going to the doctor one year......... Resubmitted this year thinking, yes, now I have the 5 years! But wait, now the insurance is saying that I was not diagnosed with high blood pressure until 2011. They are now saying that I have to have the weight history and the co-morbidity for 5 years! Both for 5 years! So, I have to wait until next week until the surgeon's office receives written notification that it was denied. They can then do a peer to peer to see if they can get approval! This is crazy!

Is self pay an option for you? Seems like they will always come up with a reason why not to pay.

I had no co-morbidity so I wrote a letter telling the of my Famiky history of diabetes, high BP & heart disease & told them their always preachin prevention...I was trying to prevent following my Family & getting these things! They approved me within the week....worth a shot!
