absolutely_flabulous 21 Posted July 8, 2015 I got my phone call this AM - Im APPROVED. I was originally denied by my medical group - filed an appeal with my insurance provider (DENIED AGAIN) , just to file a second level appeal and be approved. Thank You Jesus! Now for my surgery countdown. 11 days and a wake up - July 20, 2015!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mzboydkin 19 Posted July 9, 2015 Hello,congrats on getting approval and not giving up! That's one of my fears not getting approved. Im nearing the end of all my appts.May I ask what reason they gave you guys for not approving. I've gain weight since I started and I've read that insurance could denie me.

absolutely_flabulous 21 Posted July 9, 2015 I started 5/29 x did all my appointments and was cleared by psych, dietician, my labs but I didn't have 6 months ( well why the heck was I referred and approved to the bariatric clinic?), so my medical group denied me. Appealed - insurance denied for not medically necessary.... LOL..really?? Come to find out they didn't request my records from uc Davis. Once everyone worked together I got approved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
absolutely_flabulous 21 Posted July 9, 2015 They could but that's part of the honest battle of obesity...trying and failing to lose or gaining back. Push ahead, if they deny - appeal, if they deny again - appeal again. Dig your feet in fight for what you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
