Did Aetna Approve you even with weight gain?

I am on a Diet to drop my extra pounds I put on but did you still get approved even with weight gain?

I have Aetna and was never told it would be an issue if there was weight gain during pre-op.

I have Aetna through work and I was not approved for them to pay for my surgery. I think it all just depends on what type of plan you have.

The plan that my work has does not include any type of weight loss surgery. It was just the level of coverage that we were offered.

But my employer was really awesome and paid for half of my surgery.

You can call Aetna to confirm if Bariatric surgery is covered under your plan and request the requirements

I was denied by Aetna because I am 37 bmi with no comorbid conditions. My advisor said it's not worth appealing since little chance of approval if any so I am doing self pay. But if you meet the criteria they should approve you.

I have bcbs Florida and in the policy i had them send to me via snail mail says they do not cover wls- no exceptions. I called my insurance company and they told me that i had to have a doctor say it's medically necessary and have proof. So- im hoping hoping hoping.
