Aetna POS II Choice



Recommended Posts

Hello Eveyone,

I have Aenta insurance and my current BMI is 47. I just went to my Dr. last week and he told me to come back in two weeks for a blood work up and a physical. Aetna won't help me to find out if I qualify they say they can't tell me. So I went on there site and pulled the information. I was wondering if anyone has gotten approved without doing either the six month program or the three month program. I want my surgery like yesterday. Any experiences anyone can help me with?:help:

sorry to tell you but you must complete one of them and you cannot miss a month and than pick up the following month. they will make you start all over again. but it is so worth it.

Even after doing the 6 month diet, and everything else they required, I STILL got denied. I appealed and now 5 months later and having danced through more hoops I finally got approved. I'm having my band done on the 19th. From start to finish it took me 11 grueling months. Even with all this, they will only pay $1085. I have to pay the doctor $3000 out of my pocket on top of all this greif. Aetna sucks.

Why did they deny you in the first place? Did you show five years in a row of being obese? I have one year missing to make five in a row but I can show more than that throught my life? Do you think this will pass?

they denied me because they said my doctor's 6 month documentation "wasn't good enough". that's when I had all my other doctors write letters and send documentation of other problems I was having. I had my OB/GYN document my stress incontinence, my cardiologist document my heart problems and high blood pressure, I had a sleep study done, and had my Rhumetolgist document the deterioration of my knees and hips from the weight. After that appeal, how could they refuse?

I have Aetna POS II Choice as well. I'm currently doing the 6 PCP diet and will also provide them with my weight history for five year and I'll be praying for approval. I'm worried about the $$ part of it.

      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.

      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.
