Medicare approval after surgery?

[pitter 0]

I've been going through Beliteweight and they tell me that I can supply them with the LMN and then take the MMPI 2 test in Detroit the day before the surgery. They assure me Medicare will approve, but what if they don't? Is this risky? My Psych doesn't give the test and it would save me money as the test in Detroit is free; however, I'm concerned about what happens if Medicare doesn't approve? I can't self pay as I am disabled with BiPolar II Disorder (stable on meds). Should I try and find someone locally to administer the test and just cough up the money ahead of time first or go ahead and take the test in Detroit? :confused2:

Nope, that is not a promise that Medicare will pay. Tell belite that if they want to put it in writing that they will pay your surgery costs if Medicare denies you, you are happy to do it their way. I'll bet'cha they don't do it.

They won't put something like that in writing so I'd wait for the approval from Medicare first.
