Waiting Game sucks... Anyone recently submit to Insurance?

[magnificent2015 34]

I haven't called my insurance or the clinic yet. I'm almost afraid that they will have bad news, that I've been denied. I have Uniform Med Plan and Premera. I don't have any comorbidities, but I still feel like I've met all of the qualifications. I'm just hoping to have it done by the end of the year.

I feel the same way. It was submitted last Friday, even though I know their turnaround is quick. I'm nervous to call because I've been denied in the past also.

So Aetna didnt overturn it with the peer to peer appeal. I got a quote from Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy but I dont know if I can do $600 to $900 to help with the appeal. So I am unsure whether to just let my doctor handle the appeal or have Lindstrom do it. Im so depressed because I really wanted to get it done this year.

Did anyone have weight gain within the 90 days and still got approved?
