Aflac anyone?



Recommended Posts

I signed up for Aflac yesterday. For accident and hospitalization. I know there is a 12 month time frame prior to a claim that anything can be considered "prior" illness or whatever but I'm hoping I can sneak a few in. lol Do any of you use Aflac? How helpful is it?

As a former employee I can tell you there is no cheating. The waiting period is typically for the wellness benefit only.

So do you think if my Policy start date is Oct. 1st 2016 and I have my RNY in say May 2017 that they might pay me? And what if the surgeon gets in there to do the RNY and decides to do a hernia repair or remove my gallbladder at the same time. Will they pay then?

Thanks for the help in understanding. I really appreciate it.

No. The accident policy is for accidents only.

If you have the accident and hospitalization policy then it only covers occurrences due to accidents.

      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?

      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.
