Help Insurance Problems....



Recommended Posts

Ok I just received a letter from my insurance that says Procedure code 43775 is a contract exclusion.. I have already done all my pre op test etc. So my question is has anyone had this problem and if so what was the outcome?

I know that the procedure code 43775 is the code for the surgery itself, it sounds like your insurance plan doesn't include coverage for that specific code. Have you reached out to them? If they are denying it, usually there is an appeals process. But if your policy doesn't include coverage for Bariatric surgery you might not be able to do anything about it.

Thanks guys my plan says 90% for bariatric procedure if I use a facility they cover. Before I even look into having the surgery I looked into this I even received a cost sheet from my Dr's office of what my cost would be. I guess that's why I don't understand. I have to wait till tomorrow to talk to Dr's office and insurance just hope all goes well. I was really nervous about having the procedure but now I'm disappointed I may not have it..

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
