My deductible is $1,000 and a total co pay of $4500. I won't pay over $4500 total for everything.

Hi. I had CDPHP last year. This year I have MVP, and I was denied with a BMI of 35 with 2 co morbidities. They said on Sept 9th my BP was controlled. For over a year, it's been poorly controlled. I'm now on 2 meds for it. It's been a month and I'm still waiting on my dtr to do a peer to peer. My surgery is scheduled for November 14th. I had neck surgery last year and CDPHP was excellent! Good luck !!

It's been a total of 4 weeks, and my dtr still hasn't done my peer to peer, and my surgery is scheduled for 2 weeks from now.. So frustrating!

Sending positive vibes for your hubby!

Thank you Queenofthetamazons for the quick response. I think the waiting and worrying is the worst. I guess no news is good news!

I'm new on here, but I've been following religiously. I've gotten a lot of great information from you all! The frustration is REAL! I'm 48, my BMI is 35.2. I have HBP. high cholesterol. GERD. and degenerative disc disease with scoliosis. My insurance (MVP) (I'm in NY) covers bariatric surgery. The insurance denied me because they said my BP was controlled on Sept 9,2016, and so was my cholesterol. For a year straight, my primary doctor has written that my BP is poorly controlled. I went back to her again a week ago, and she wrote me a letter of medical necessity.(not sure why they didn't ask for this before they submitted my paperwork) My BP was again high, so she added a second BP med. How is this controlled? I'm waiting for my surgeon to do a peer to peer. They keep playing phone tag. I've been patiently waiting for over a week for them to speak. My surgery is scheduled for Nov.14th. I wish they wouldn't do that, because this is stressful enough! Any thoughts on the peer to peer outcome?? Thanks Kelly
