Please help..Aetna POS II requirements



Recommended Posts

Hi, I have Aetna POSII plan and am trying to get approved for lapband surgery. My BMI is only 37 but I have sleep apnea. Now the surgeons office is telling me that I might have to be on a six month wt loss program. I have been working on getting approved since Feb. and now they are telling me ugh. The insurance hasn't denied me yet but the surgeons office told me I need to start the exercise program just in case. Aetna's wt loss requirements are really confusing and I need all the help I can. I saw that some people have done a 3 month wt loss program and was wondering what all I had to do. If anyone has gone through this and can give me some advice I would appreciate it. Thanks

I also have Aetna POSII, and I was denied with a bmi of 39.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

I also have high blood pressure. My 2 year weight history was under 40 also, and that is why i was denied.

I did the 3 month program and was still denied.

I hope you have better results than I did. I ended up being self pay.

Hi! I'm sorry you were denied. What did you have to do for the 3 month program? I'm really getting frustrated with the surgeons staff they didn't even know that Aetna requires 2yrs of records not 5. I really am starting to think I need to look at other payment options.

      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...

        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.
