Why did you get rejected?

[Frodo's Mom 23]

Were you rejected by the insurance company? I know they are all different have different guidelines, just curious why you would be rejected? I'm getting nervous about my pre-cert. Thanks for your help!

In my caseC my insurance simply didn't cover it.

Alot of insurance companies up front will tell you what you need, so it is something that you could always call and ask them. Before I even went to the first open seminar, I called to confirmed that it was covered and see some of the steps that had to be done.

@

being rejected, some reasons could be

you are not SICK enough for WLS

the unhealthier you are the better for approval by insurance

CRAZY (but i understand their logic)

you need to have different co-morbitities (ie diabetes, high blood pressure, CPAP)

these are just a few examples of the good/bad things they love to see

you should have a BMI of at least 40

i have heard that 35 up is ok, as long as you still have other health issues

being nervous about approval is understandable

don't put the cart in front of the horse

wish you luck towards approval
