OMG i am soo frustrated with my insurance. Priority Health. I have had my doctor submit my claims to them two times and they denied both. My last resort was to find out if I have sleep apnea then they would cover my surgery. I went today to sleep doctor and did find out i have sleep apnea, right away called my doctor who then called my insurance,,, and they still will not cover it unless I am actually hooked up to a pap machine.. Out of ideas.. I cant believe how strict Priority Health is on this issue. Anyone else have any advice on what route to try next..?? I am not afraid of the mexico idea , i am afraid to tell my family, i know they would be scared for me. UGGGG

Thanks for the info. I will look into it. my eyeballs are getting tired of all the research so hopefully soon.. have a great day.

I sent an email to his office yesterday and still have not heard back. I am trying to decide who to go to for the sleeve. does anyone know if it usually takes a while to hear back from his office? or his pricing? thanks

I really want to have the gastric sleeve done and want to know how to go about finding a reputable doctor that is less expensive since i will have to pay out of my pocket. How did you decide to go elsewhere? thanks:confused:

I am new to this. went to orientation here in MI, was told this was a very simple process , almost all insureance companies will cover this. they sent in my paperwork to insurance and I found out today Priority Health denied me. I have not even talked to my PCP about this.. what is my next step. very anxious to get started. any advice helpful please.
