Insurance reversal



Recommended Posts

Well the good news is....they can't repo your band lol, On a serious note, I fee like there's more to this story, why did they decide to reverse it? They must have given you a reason...were you entitled to coverage under that plan? I'm not sure what tricare is but I know someone who was getting medicaid but they started making too much money to qualify for medicaid so they had to pay for all those things they did cover when she wasn't entitled to it. Idk but whatever the situation is, it sucks that you had to file bko. My cousin pays $80/ fill, maybe you can pay out of pocket? I wouldn't use that insurance for anything lapband related since there's an issue...just my opinion!

Military members can't sue but dependents can...with that said' date=' it would definitely be a long, tough road ahead suing the government...So glad you are on your way to having a new doctor.....I wish you well![/quote']

Approval was given by 3rd person vendor. Received two approval letters And where physician received authorization however Tricare states they have the right to deny a claim at any time. Still receiving EOBs where they have paid some charges but for the most the surgery bill is still outstanding.

I'm in Hattiesburg and Dr Donald is my doc! He's AWESOME! I also deal with insurance and I know tricare can reverse for lots of reasons. I'm sure you've checked all this since you decided to declare bankruptcy.... Make sure they have you right in that system not just the Humana system.

Ready to change my life!

My appointment is scheduled for feb. 13 with dr. Girod. Looking forward to appointment

I specifically asked Tricare. I was told if you have an authorization in writing you are protected by that and as long as all providers are in network there should be no problems. Don't give up :)

I also have tricare prime! They would not approve me for the band without me going thur hell first:( they wanted me closer to 40 bmi. I gave up on the thought of getting the band done after I checked on out of pocket pricing until one day by the grace of god I seem a ad in the paper on post. My prayers had been answered, they open up a baratric program here on post at Fort Knox Ky;) I didn't pay for anything and it was done here at Fort Knox and that is where I go for my fills and support groups! Didn't have to do n e thing with tricare! Thank goodness since I read about your post! Good luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
