Hey so I was approved for stage 1 and I am a few months into stage 2. I was approved because I have a bmi of 39.5 and sleep apnea. I just found out that last sleep study they did that I tested negative for sleep apnea. Does this mean I am not going to get approved for stage 3?
I have Molina but I would suggest calling your insurance and ask what they require. With molina pcos wouldnt be a comorbidity. Your insurance may be different. Molina requires BMI of 35 and above and 2 Comorbiditys or BMI of 40 with one. ( although the one depends on who you ask). Do your research. I went online and got the stage 2 paper work for Molina bariatric surgery and printed it out. I took it too my docs so they had it and knew what was needed. I got tired of waiting on everyone else. The only hospital that can do the surgery for this side of the mnt and medicaid is UW. So make sure you look into that as well.
Take everything you find to your doc and tell them " This is what my insurance wants for WLS. I have this this and this. I qualify. Please fill this out and submit it."
