Anyone heard of this requirement?



Recommended Posts

So I have been called my insurance regarding if this or that is covered and whatnot.

Everything is covered at 100% however one rep with my insurance stated that since I have

not been with my current employer for 1 year that I would have to wait until I hit that date.

Spoke to the lady at Surgeons office regarding scheduling everything else and mentioned the 1 year thing

and she said she has never heard of this requirement.

I have no idea...Anyone heard of this?

If it matters I have Sutter Select under UMR.

I have heard of that. Not sure if it can be waived. Since only one person mentioned it I would call back and ask specifically!

Yes, it has to do with the type of policy your employer has.

I was afraid of this. I will call again and the office will call to verify.

I'm glad I only have to wait until Nov 1st at least its fairly close :)

that sounds like a policy thing which your company probably requires. Call and double check

I'm not 100% sure, but this almost sounds like a pre-existing condition clause. Let us know what you find out.

      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! 😞
