Ins Coverage, Controlled Hypertension

[CarolineDC 0]

Hoping somebody can share their experience! The only co-morbidity I have is high blood pressure, and it's actually well-controlled without medication now. It was high last year, and I took meds for about six months. Came off the meds, and I've been within normal limits since then. Does anyone have any experience getting insurance coverage with a co-morbidity that's successfully treated without medication?

is ur bmi below 40 for u to be concerned about having a co morb in order to be approved by insurance? If its not under 40 then a co morb isnt required.

I have AETNA, PPO. BMI, right at 40. with high blood pressure, that is controlled with medication. Just found out on Friday, 5/8/09, insurance is not going to pay since my high blood pressure is "under control" and my bmi has not been 40 for more than 2 years. My surgery, which was scheduled for Monday 5/11, has been canceled.

I'm going with self pay, but now I have to wait for an open spot.

I wish I had done self pay from the beginning. I could be done with surgery by now.
