They could but that's part of the honest battle of obesity...trying and failing to lose or gaining back. Push ahead, if they deny - appeal, if they deny again - appeal again. Dig your feet in fight for what you want.
I started 5/29 x did all my appointments and was cleared by psych, dietician, my labs but I didn't have 6 months ( well why the heck was I referred and approved to the bariatric clinic?), so my medical group denied me. Appealed - insurance denied for not medically necessary.... LOL..really?? Come to find out they didn't request my records from uc Davis. Once everyone worked together I got approved
I got my phone call this AM - Im APPROVED. I was originally denied by my medical group - filed an appeal with my insurance provider (DENIED AGAIN) , just to file a second level appeal and be approved. Thank You Jesus! Now for my surgery countdown. 11 days and a wake up - July 20, 2015!!
