Ya, unfortunately insurance companies will come up with any reason they can to deny people. It's so sad. I finished my program last Friday and as of today my doctors office still hasn't even submitted my file to insurance yet so I'm pretty irritated about that! Good luck with your approval though, I'm sure everything will work out. I like the Mexico plan lol... That's gonna be my back up plan too!

Did you get approved?? I have the same insurance and am waiting for my doctors office to submit my paperwork.

I'm waiting for approval from my insurance and am nervous because I have suffered from depression and bi polar disorder for years and I have heard of people getting denied surgery because of that.

I was wondering about how long it took your doctors office to submit your paperwork to insurance? I finished the program at Magee last Friday and as of today they still have not submitted anything to my insurance. Is that normal??

Did anyone have their surgery thru Magee?

Was wondering if anyone has been denied from insurance because of depression or any other mental illness??

Was wondering if anyone has ever been denied from the insurance company because of depression or bi polar or any mental illness??

That's good to hear! I'm just so worried about a denial. I did all my testing and I lost a significant amount of weight during the lifestyle program but I'm still worried they will find some reason to deny me. I have upmc for you insurance.

Does anyone out there have Upmc for you insurance? If so, can you tell me how the approval process went and how long it took.

Does anyone have Upmc for you insurance?

Hi Nikki, just wondering if you got your approval and how long it took? I'm still waiting for mine

I have the same insurance and they just submitted mine. I lost some weight during the lifestyle program so I am hoping the insurance goes by my starting weight and bmi and not my current weight and bmi. Even after losing some weight my bmi is still at a 38 and I have high blood pressure. How long did it take to get a response from the insurance? Did you appeal their decision?

I am going thru Magee and Dr. Hamad as well. They were supposed to submit to my insurance on Monday but as of today my insurance hasn't received anything so don't always take their word for it and make sure you call your insurance yourself. Did anyone have problems with their Upmc insurance getting approval?
