Disappointed

[angels91 8]

Just received a call from the weight loss center saying that my insurance doesn't cover wls. This AFTER my pcp called to verify it would before making the referral, and I myself calling, before I made the effort to fill out all the information and submitting it. When I initially called, they said that if my primary did a referral, then it was in fact preapproved. Today, after getting the call saying it wasn't approved, I contacted insurance again. They told me I could do a medical exemption questionnaire, which if approved, would qualify me for the surgery. So I did the questionnaire with them. She said I should know by the end of this week or early next week if approved. She also suggested I do a more in depth one through my pcp, which should help. When I called them, they were clueless as to what I was talking about. They are going to contact my insurance and get back to me. I really hope and pay this goes through, as I feel this is a life or death matter for me at this point. This weight is slowly killing me.

The fight isn't over yet...just keep trying! I hope everything works out well for you.

As I stated in a post earlier today, I got the medically exempt status approved! As soon as I get the letter (hopefully tomorrow )I can fax it to the WL center and they will go from there. Then it's time for me to officially start my journey!
