Lockheed Total Health - Aetna PPO



Recommended Posts

I have just hit a snag I didn't see coming. I have completed my 90 day plan and my doctor sent in all my records over a week ago to Aetna. I call Aetna for my statis and I was told it never came. They said it probably was sent to the regular Aetna office and that it would eventually get to them, however, it would dramatically slow down the process. They also suggested asking my doctor to resend my information to a new number. I sure in the long run this is going to work out, however, I want the short run!!! Has anyone ever hit this snag before? Are there any other Lockheed Total Health people out there and what is your experience?

Miss Meliss,

I dealt with Aetna through Lockheed for my lap band and haven't had any problems at all. Actually the only problem I've had is that Aetna is my secondary insurance carrier and all the doctors and hospital send everything to my primary carrier first (which I understand is procedure) and then we wait for them to reject it and then turn around and send it to Aetna for payment.

If I remember correctly it only took about 10 days for Aetna to review and approve my file, and then we went forward and scheduled my surgery.

Good luck!

Thanks for the information! 10 days sounds great!! I finally got a fax number that I could pass on to my Doctors office. I hope they fax my stuff today!!

      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.
