Denied by atena!

[Red_lips_and_confidence 148]

So I was denied because atena is looking at my medical records from 4 years ago ( I recently got insurance back so I haven't been at the doctors) in that mean time I gained back 70 lbs and was diagnosed with PCOS and countless other issues so now they think I'm "skinny" when I'm bmi 43 and 278lbs! Now I have to go through this appeal process uhg and get doctor letters and stuff my bmi has fluctuated between 38-43 I'm so nervous they will deny me again!!!! Any advice? Has anyone else been denied too for this issue? Or their bmi but still was approved!???? !! I'm terrified right now

I have Aetna as well - they approved mine. However, with my BMI only being 36.1, I had to have sleep apnea to be eligible. I actually had severe sleep apnea. Hopefully your doctor has some great people to work with insurance. Keep the faith!

I have sleep apnea and a BMI of 39+ and Aetna denied me :-(

I have polycystic ovarian syndrome which is triggered worse by my weight, I can't have kids because of it, my cysts rupture everyday, my knees and hip dislocates , I'm flat flooded with a bad back, constant Migraines and headaches from my PCOS , pre diabetic not to mention hypertension, heart disease and morbid obesity runs crazy in my family like 500+ lbs!!! I'm on depo and other pills to control my PCOS which ha caused me to gain SO Much weight! I can't work out like I'd like because I'm in so much pain.. Wonder if they'll take that into consideration and it'll be enough! I've never been below 200 in my life so it's not like I just got fat ya know if I don't get this I am doomed idk what I'm going to do
