I want to have this surgery but I'm running into a lot of issues I think. The company I work for opted out of bariatrics. By bmi is 37 but I don't have any current health issues, so from the research I've done I want qualify. Can someone please give me some advice. I have struggled with my weight my whole life and have tried diets and exercise. Every time I loose I gain it all plus more more back. Please help

Carole' date=' I work in insurance and this problem is pretty common. My first recommendation would be to call Aetna. You did your due diligence as the member/patient by selecting a participating (in-network) surgeon and facility. You had no say in the anesthesiologist, so you should not be on the hook for any additional charges (outside of what your charge would have been had they been in-network). You have to be persistent with them, but in the end it should work out in your favor. Feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss further!

I agree. They did the same thing to me when I had my c-section. I appealed the bill with CIGNA because I was not aware and did not select my anesthesiologist. They ended up paying the entire bill.
