AETNA DENIAL TWICE

Okay it been an emotional 2 weeks Aetna has denied my surgery twice due to not having proper documentation to do the 3 month multidisciplinary plan. Anyone have a copy of exactly what the doctor has to put on his paperwork every month. I have given up on the 3 month and am just hoping to get approved on the 6th month.... Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Don't think I can handle a 3rd denial...

Is your surgeon's office submitting the documents?

Yes, my surgeon office is submitting the paperwork. I was hoping for any tips at getting approved.

I would think they should know what it takes to get the proper things turned in ..... bummer they have not done it.

Sorry, I have no insurance so can't help you on that one. Someone will jump in and give you the tips you need.

Maybe the third time's a charm ..... keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Maybe you could call your insurance provider and ask them exactly what is wrong with the paperwork.
