Prayers needed!

[DebbieG 262]

Yes was denied yesterday again because my sleep apnea wasn't scored high enough even tho its moderate to severe..my bmi was not consistently 40 for 3 years( it was 38-40)

So this forum will no longer apply to me..I am devasted heartsick and just hurt .I just want to say thanks for all the sweet words and good luck to everyone!

Prayers to you! Good luck on what the future holds. I know this is probably going to seem silly, but I wouldn't give up! I would keep appealing. Sometimes insurance co.'s just want to see if you give up. What do you have to lose? Right? I would write a letter indicating the struggles and impact the weight puts on your life, anything! I've seen people get denied more than once then get approval the third time. Good luck hun.

You will get approve. Some jealous most likely fat person didn't want you approve. Sending positive vibes your way.

Praying for you - keep the faith- God is good and he wants you to be happy- your probably going they this bump in order to help someone else in the future- you will get approved and then help someone else in this same situation. God is with you

I had to submit 3 times and it finally went through...took them almost a YEAR!!!! I had every piece of paper from my doctor/hospital to send to them plus my C-PAP documentation....NEVER GIVE UP!!! By any chance is it Tricare? Good luck, and God Bless You!

No I have blue cross blue shield alabama

The problem is that my bmi was 38.something for 3 years prior..no other comorbids besides sleep apnea which has to be a score of 50 mine was 25 something...but required Cpap?..so blue cross is saying there is NO way to get it approved..

Unless someone knows a way around this they won't approve....and from what I have been told there is no way :/

Worse comes to worse you will have to wait a few years for your history to be acceptable.

Or have you considered self pay?

Or it might be a blessing in disguise. A chance to do it on your own. I know it sucks but maybe someone has a plan.

I would wait for open enrollement and change insurance carriers. Do some research to see what options you have and what their requirements are. This is just a delay! Best Wishes
