Aetna PPO-pissed off!!



Recommended Posts

As of today, I am still waiting. I called this morning and was told it was being reviewed by doctors and they sent that over to the doctors on 12/21. They said it usually takes 7-10 days after that to hear something. This is driving me crazy!!

Yes they will deny you. I went thru that with them and that is what happened to me. But I found someone that knew what they were doing and got all the paperowrk to them and was approved in 2 days!

Why did they deny you?

:angryI got my surgery done 12/7/07 with UHC because I know my sompany was switching to Aetna in JAN 08 what I didn't know was that Aetna would not pay for fills . B&*%#es that's alright cause my Dr. will cover 3 of them and the money I will save on eating out will pay for it itself

that's good destiny. i'm waiting on my surgeons office to call me now, so I can find out about the fills.

Aetna doesn't pay for fills because they've negotiated them in the full price they pay for the surgery.

I'm glad to hear your approval came through! Hopefully mine will go the same way! Mine is similar to yours - something was forgotten when the submission went - Hmm - wonder if we have the same person? lol

right!!! As of today they doctors office still doesnt have my approval letter and wont do anything till they get it. I've had mine for a few days now and the nurse finally said I can send her a copy of mine. The insurance company doesn't know why they have received it yet, but said the nurse could call her and she will give her all the info she needed for the approval. The nurse refused to do that and said she needed it in writting. What makes this worse is that, the class that I have to go to wont be offered again until the end of next month!!!! OMG what the hell is going on!!! I'm so sick of this unecessary bull crap. I asked the nurse today why so many simple things are falling through the craks and no once seems to care. She didnt have an answer of course.

      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.
