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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
