Peer to peer review today [emoji45]

[vandernoordh 63]

Today is my peer to peer review, I couldn't sleep last night bc I'm so anxiously awaiting the outcome. I was supposedly denied because I don't have a comorbidity. I have a fatty liver, high cholesterol, and pre diabetic. My BMI is 42. Please pray that I get my big fat approval and I can get on with my new life of living instead of just existing! Thank you all in advance!

It wasn't overturned by the insurance.

Sorry they are giving you such a hard time... Don't give up

I've made an apt with the cardiologist to address some chest discomfort when working out as well as my vein issue in my legs. I also have a sleep study scheduled. Hopefully one of the two will uncover a qualifying co-morbidity.

It's crazy you have to hope for a comorbity! :-( Insurance companies suck!

That stinks! The sleep study can usually uncover sleep apnea, at least that's what my doctor said... and I have 'Horton' to prove it

It really is awful that they want to wait until you are truly sick before they'll do something to help now!

I will be thinking about you, and hoping you can get this approved soon!

[vandernoordh 63]

Yes I agree. I feel they should help before I have a health condition that could kill me. I am worried about the sleep study because I don't really have any symptoms of sleep apnea.
