Got a ?

[JDH 0]

Just started in looking at having the band surgery, told my doctor a few weeks ago to give me a referral to a local surgeon. Yesterday I got a referral

letter from my doctor and a referral response on my insurance companies letterhead. Does this mean that they are gonna pay for the surgery? It has a certification #, EDI trace#, procedure codes, and other codes as well. Thanks for any info you can give me.

I think it just means that you're appoved to see the surgeon. The surgeon still has to submit for surgery approval. Insurance can be a tangled web of uncertainties...but it's all worth it in the end. The great news is...it's obviously something your insurance covers as long as you meet the criteria :thumbdown:
