RobertD16 47 Posted June 26, 2016 Well I have been ready and waiting for surgery so excited...Yesterday I went to pick up my prescriptions and they tell me I do not have health insurance...I am under my dads plan and he quit his job me and him are not on good terms. I do not know what to do now. I am just going to show up tomorrow for surgery act like I do not know. i am scared that they will try and verify Insurance one more time before surgery. Anyone know If they check insurance again before surgery...I am scheduled for 2;30 pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valentina 2,642 Posted June 27, 2016 When you register tomorrow they will run your insurance in order to print out your wrist bands, lab labels, etc.. It's all part of the process. Of course every state is different, so I wish you luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

busybeebug 415 Posted June 27, 2016 Hang in there. Unfortunately a lot of hospitals are electronically linked to insurance plans. However sometimes it slips past. Good luck Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 27, 2016 I would think the hospital would call you if there were issues with your coverage. They usually are careful to check ahead of time so they don't eat the bill. Hopefully when Cobra goes thru they honor your authorization from prior coverage. When I got Cobra it was actually a different plan #. Just be cautious - you don't want a $40k bill.

busybeebug 415 Posted June 27, 2016 For COBRA, typically but not always is just a different subgroup of the company 's plans. Most of the time it can be the same coverage as the active employees which generally follows the same medical policies, benefit structure . It hopefully should be just a group or id number change. If you can look at the COBRA benefit grid and see if wls is a covered benefit. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobertD16 47 Posted June 27, 2016 I would hate to be turned away today...I did all preop things and took all my medicines. I would assume they would call me to before I came in...There is still time for them to call me. I just need to have it today or I cannot have it all. My coverage since I am turning 26 july 1st ends. So if they turn me away today...I have no chance. I swear the stress from all this is making me sick. I just want to know already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
