Aetna Choice POS II



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I've just read the Aetna threads. Aetna Choice POS II is my plan. Is there anyone out there who has this plan or a similiar one? I would love any feedback, suggestions, and/or helpful strategies in dealing with them. So far, I've learned that my plan covers only 90% of the surgery. I'm not sure about fills. Again, all info is greatly appreciated.

Soon To Be,

Skinny Chick:)

I have Aetna POS II as my insurance. They did pay 90% of the surgery - which is what my plan states. I expect to meet my out of pocket maximum for the year with the surgery - so hopefully no copays for fills =) I did have to provide 6 months diet and exercise to prove that I needed the surgery. Any other questions - PM me.

i have aetna choice pos II also, i was told that i needed proof that ive been overweight for at least 5 years. i hope that i dont need proof of exercise or diet because i stopped going to my nutrionist a year ago and i dont have proof of exercise except working out at work. also i was told that i would have to pay for the fills and that they would be around $100 per fill

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
