aetna approval letters



Recommended Posts

ok im not sure if all approval letters look the same but i just received mine.

on the coverage timeframe my letter states 5/25/09-5/25/09, which makes no sense to me because that's the same day and i received it today. now is that date supposed to mean that you are only approved if your dates are between those two dates.

it's after hours so i can't call right now. i was just wondering if other aetna letters looked this way or should it actually be different dates there.

thanks

My Aetna letter had 12/31/2099-12/31/2099, so I don' t think it's unusual. You may want call to check, maybe I should too....

Mine said 3/9/2009-3/9/2009 I didn't call them because that is the date that your surgery was approved for coverage. I don't know why they write it like that. But I don't think you need to call them. My surgery is next month and it's all good.!

I was told that that is how they send the letters out. You have to call your Dr. office to schedule a date.

Just by coincidence I found out today you'll get an updated one in the mail once the date is scheduled. I just did.

      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.
