  1. So I went to my consult on the 5th and the office says my Coventry Advantra medicare Louisiana excludes WLS when they call customer service. I push so they call back and it's BMI >35 with 2 comorbids. But what if I had left? Then she wanted me to get the records from my PCP. Now she says she'll try once but then it's on me. She has 200 patients and she also isn't going to photo copy 2 inches of paper work. (they want last 2 years). So i'm redoing my sleep study tomorrow. That's 1. But all my labs over the last 2 years are normal. So is my blood pressure. I'm pre diabetic and my blood pressure is controlled with HCTZ. I am on atorvastatin for my cholesterol and that has kept it between 195 - 209. My LDL is great and always has been. So last chance - arthritis. I was treated 10 years ago at a pain clinic. MRIS whole bit. They no longer have my records. New law, you can destroy them after 6 years. So my PCP probably has me complaining about my back but I weaned myself off the duragesic patch and narcotics years ago. He doesn't treat my arthritis. Am I doomed?

      Your insurance seems really tough to get around. See if your surgeon can find ways to make "justifications"... good luck.
