I've been reading about Aetna and whether they cover the sleeve or not. My PA hospital got a bypass approved, but what I really want is the sleeve. Aetna told them they won't cover sleeve unless it's the patient has had a transplant (like a kidney.) I know it now has it's own code and there's more research, but wondering if anyone has tried to get it to a review board or something like that. I hear that case managers are good to talk to also. I just don't want to call until I know what to say. Any input on this would be appreciated.
