Insurance Approval

[bncbabe2015 11]

I have no idea!

My surgeon is supposed to be having a conference call with the medical director over my case with the insurance company either tomorrow or Friday. Hopefully I will have more answers then.

Ok so I finally got my call from the insurance and it was a denial. OMG, I am so mad. It was denied because I don't have the 6 months they say of a supervised diet. Well when I 1st started this I called the insurance and asked quite a few questions the 1st one was do I need a 6 mo. supervised diet there answer was NO. The only reason I found out that you need 6 mo. is because the surgeons office has a few other patients with the same insurance and they scheduled them around the 3 mo mark and they were denied. Then when I knew I needed 6 mos I called them again and asked if my two mos Nutrisystem prior to the dr could be used. There response was YES as long as it was continuous and I had proof it was and I do. Well now here I am with a denial because we were told they no longer accept Nutrisystem or Weight Watchers. You talk about incompetient it is just unacceptable. My stomach is in knotts I had to do so much rearranging because I work two jobs and the 2nd one is cleaning houses so I wanted it done now so I would be available for the holiday season. I don't want to lose customers because of this an it was all working out now I just don't know what to do. Dr. office says to come in today and October is 6 mos with them and they will resubmit and hopefully it will be approved but I don't have much faith it will be done before next week when I have 4 appointments for this surgery. Ok I am don't whinning!!!! Thanks for listening...

You don't need to bring anything special. Change of clothes, toiletries, phone charger. Bring a pillow for the ride home to hold over your stomach.
