Approval question



Recommended Posts

I emailed my ins coordinator to let me know when they sent in to ins and she never did. I called my ins company today and it has been submitted and they sent the letter out on the 11th she said the notes said that my surgery meets criteria so does that mean approved?

You insurance company should be able to fax a copy of the letter they sent out on the 11th. Ask for that because seeing it in writing is the only sure way to know it is approved by your insurance company.

I had a similar "fiasco"..... so I got the letter faxed to me. Huge relief to know it was officially approved. then I called my ins coordinator and gave her a copy of the letter to; got to the bottom of the disconnect as well. Then called the surgery coordinator and got the ball rolling with pre-op and surgery scheduling. Only after that was I able to sleep!

You might want to try this. Hope it goes well!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
