Changing Health Insurance

[Jen-ny 18]

Hi! My husband may be changing jobs next month and so our insurance would change. (Both insurances cover wls.) I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and if it delayed their surgery at all? Thank you.

I was in that situation. I started my program in January. My husband changed jobs in June. My surgery is scheduled for August 1. I’m waiting for approval from insurance. I did get a denial last week but only because they were missing paperwork from the surgeon. No issues getting my office visits and tests covered.

Thank you very much for replying! I’m glad to hear that there was no issues for you, just more paperwork needed. I was really nervous when my husband started looking for a new job! The wait has already felt like a long time, I didn’t want this change to hold things up longer!

You're welcome. As long as you meet the criteria with the new insurance you should be good. I'm still waiting to hear back from insurance on the pre-auth after they sent the corrected paperwork. My surgery is Aug 9 so I'm getting slightly nervous. I'll let you know if I run into any problems.
