I need someones opinion

[MIJourney 490]

I called my insurance 7 months prior to surgery just after I went to the WL seminar and was told bariatric surgery was covered under my contract. My surgeons office also received written approval prior to scheduling my surgery date. After surgery I found they covered the hospital, anesthesiologist and pathologist but denying the surgeon bill. They also covered 6 months of dr appts, psych eval and other required steps. I have filed an appeal.

Update- I received in the mail a denial for my 1st appeal. Denied as uncovered. Just the surgeon's bill, not the hospital, anesthesiologists or pathologist. So today I was doing to fill out the forms for my 2nd appeal which would involve my employer. I checked Priority Health's website which I've done frequently since surgery and the claim appeared to have been paid??? hmmm I didn't want to get too excited. I had a 1pm 3 month f/u apt and confirmed with the office that PH had indeed paid the claim. They still haven't told me. Glad I didn't send in the 2nd appeal without checking:) Sure made my day!!!!!!
