  1. I just had my sleep study done last night. It wasn't bad at all. But this morning I got a letter from my insurance company that the 'Outpatient Hospital Diagnostic Medical' is not medically necessary. Unfortunately it is Saturday and I can't call my insurance company or doctor. So now I am scared that the sleep study may not be covered, and the nurse said they normally cost about $3000! I'm very nervous now.
  2. I am also playing the waiting game. My insurance requires 6 months of a medically supervised diet and a ton of other things. I started the process in October. Today I received a letter from my insurance company that they were denying coverage for some of the appointments. I just had a sleep study last night and am now afraid that I'll get stuck with the $3000 bill if they do not cover it! Worried! Good luck with everything!
