cathyh 33 Posted April 6, 2013 Now the wait is on. My Final Dr. Appointment is done, Doctor approved my surgery and sent off for Insurance approval. Hope I hear soon, it's been a long 9 months. My Doctor said their is no way Insurance can reject my surgery approval again, as we have met all requirements and jumped through all their hoops. I hope my approval comes as quick as my first denial was. 1 karlam29 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cathyh 33 Posted April 9, 2013 I know the feeling, this is my 2nd submission, denied the first time, so I've totally been there done that. Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La'Shaunda 3 Posted April 9, 2013 I was denied once because I wasn't at least 100 lbs over weight for 3 consecutive years... I was finally approved in Feb and had my surgery March 26.... Doing great, just not losing the weight as fast as i will like to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cathyh 33 Posted April 9, 2013 It will happen, just take it a day at a time, really, I started this journey last Aug and my Insurance said back then that I didn't have a diet and exercise requirement, so when the Doctor submitted in my paperwork in Oct we waited and waited, 3 weeks later they denied the surgery stating this requirement was not met. My Surgery was set for Nov 30th. We called and told Insurance what we were told by the Benefits Dept in Aug, to then be told they don't know the requirements they aren't the claims Dept. REALLY??? Two Departments don't communicate or know the Rules the Ins company requires for approval. Needless to say another $3000.00 deductible later, they better not deny me again. Hang in there.

La'Shaunda 3 Posted April 9, 2013 Thanks for the encouragement.... You hang in there also.. It will all work out...The surgery isn't half as bad as I thought it would be. Actually it didn't hurt as bad as my breast reduction and gall bladder removal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cathyh 33 Posted April 16, 2013 I'm still waiting to hear from Insurance, think I'm going to call tomorrow, submission was 4/5 or 4/8, the 2nd time around should be quicker I would think. Wish me luck.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
