AETNA DENIAL TWICE



Recommended Posts

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...

Thank you...

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
