I have been denied by Aetna. My BMI Has been 40-43 over the last three years. I have high blood pressure that is controlled by medication. Have sleep apnea, asthma that acts up with the cpap. My doctor just did a peer to peer with a doctor from Aetna (non-bariatric) and he insisted my sleep Apnea was not severe enough. My doctor repeatedly pointed out that the sleep Apnea was ultimately irrelevant because my bmi has been over 40 for over 2 years and that I meet all requirements listed in their booklet 0157. The doctor indicated I will be denied again. Does anyone have any clue what I can do. My doctor is even baffled. Help please.
