  1. The first step

    · tigerlily1977 · 07/07/2009 00:13

    I am very scared to take this step to actually see the surgeon. I think my fear comes from being denied the surgery due to insurance reasons. I have been given the referral to see the surgeon. I have great insurance. I meet the criteria for the being at least 100 pounds over weight. However, I don't have any of the other medical issues. I am afraid of that denial from my insurance in the end. The patient advocate tells me that it is based on a case by case decision. Any advice on how to calm my nerves or make my chances any better of hearing a yes. I have tri-care prime.......Has anyone ever been through this process with this insurance??
