Mail Handlers



Recommended Posts

I have Mail Handlers and I've been fighting with them since Jan. or Feb. I can't remember now it's been so long. I have my final appeal in with OPM. My Mail Handlers plan is federal so OPM is kind of like the State Insurance Boards for state insurance. Hopefully they will over turn Mail Handlers decision. If not I will just get a loan and self pay in Mexcio.

Cathy -

I too hope that your decision is overturned and that insurance will pay for it. I know you really are determined though -- so you will get it one way or the other!

Fight the good fight my dear friend!

Cathy! My friend had an initial denial from Mail Handler's, but they reversed their non-coverage of the band in April. She had her band earlier this month.

I would suggest that you call them and check on things!

Cathy,

Please keep me posted as to your outcome. I work for the federal government and Mail Handlers is one of the companies available to us. Currently I have Anthem HMO but I'm not sure if they're going to cover lapband. I am in the early pre-band stage so it hasn't even been submitted yet. Our open season for insurance changes occurs during November, so I want to be able to change if I need to. Please keep me updated.

Thanks,

Sheila

Sheila,

Do you have the option of GEHA? I have had alot of trouble with Mail Handlers. I just got denied on my final appeal with OPM. I have found out that I can re-submit and start all over again. I have an appt. with a new doctor in Sept. and I'm going to try it again. Hopefully I can get an answer before open enrollment which is in Nov. for my husband also. If they deny it again we will look at our options of either hiring a lawyer or switching to GEHA. I talked to GEHA and they sound easier to get approvals. I don't know anything about your case though. I had specific reason for getting denied by Mail Handlers. I can't really go into them right now because I work at a college and we are in registration right now so I have to go. If you want to e-mail me your e-mail adderess we can talk more after registration. My e-mail address is falbc@lit.edu.

      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.
