Harvard Pilgrim HMO

[Aquameliza 0]

Hello All-

I have another post about my obsession with getting Lap Band surgery - I guess as this is my third thread on different topics - my obsession is obvious. I am one week from my first appointment with the surgeon and nutritionist (the adminstrative assistant in the office is a gem- she set up both for the same day) and am fairly freaking out already - I cannot imagine what I will be like when I am actually waiting to get approval from the insurance company.

I have Harvard Pilgrim HMO and the administrator mentioned that it was not one of the harder companies to get approvals from - is there anyone on here who has had a recent approval or denial from Harvard Pilgrim HMO or would share any information about your experience with this company. I would be very appreciative and could maybe think about something else for a few minutes!!!!!!!

:laugh:

Hi Aquameliza:) I have Harvard Pilgrim HMO, and have had a wonderful experience with them! I was approved for Lap Band in one day:) I also talked to another lady on here that was approved in 4 hours, and that is also the experience of a coworker. As always there is a disclaimer with my experience... because everyone is so different, but in general they have been quick to approve if you pass the general Lap Band guidelines:) Hope this helps! Best of luck to you on your journey! ~Kerri
