  1. A broker picked a health ins plan for our office... at the time i was pregnant so all i made sure she knew was that we needed maternity... even my boss didnt know we didnt have weight loss coverage... We are also a small business... Im fine with having the exclusion, well im not fine... im just not blaming anyone... i just dont get why the DR told me to come in so we can appeal it and then all his front office keeps trying to stop me from coming in...
  2. Hmmm i wonder if its the same office... Whats the Doctors name?? I only know the Dr's name... Its Dr Teng... he is awesome but ya the staff is making me mad... cuz when i went to the seminar he told me to come in and we will appeal it... and then i make the appt and his staff keeps bugging... im gonna let him know this on wednesday... its like they dont want me to come in... im sure he wouldnt be happy to know they keep trying to cancel my appt when i plan on paying cash if i cant get the ins to pay... i just wanna see a denial and then i will move forward...

  5. My INS policy has a weight loss exclusion... I am 31... and im 5'5 , 250 with sleep apnea and gerd... I have an appt with the DR i want to do my surgery on wednesday and i have gotten 2 calls from his office since i made the appt to let me know that i have an weightloss exclusion... which i already know! But they are making it seem like i have no chance to win if i appeal it... I plan on getting it done no matter if i win or not... i will finance it... but they are making me feel like fighting it is a waste of time?? Help!!
