What insurance do you have? I work in billing for the hospital here where I live. I can tell that you that the member cannot be held responsible for the bill when the dr did not prior approval.

If your insurance did not approve your surgery then they are not going to pay for the fill either as it is related.

The insurance company is correct, you have to file a grievance. Were you not aware the surgery wasn't approved?

No I did not know that it was not approved. The assistant explained that it will be canceled if they did not get auth before surgery date. After they did not cancel I thought all well good:mad:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
