Wow, I never thought it would be this fast! I have to day it has been an easy process with Aetna. I called them a few months ago and they directed me to their "Clinical Bulletin" at "myaetna.com". Since it lists EXACTLY what they cover, there were no surprises.

Having an experienced bariatric center I am sure helped too. They provided my PCP with a sample letter of medical necessity and the document to fill out on every one of my (supervised diet) visits. The insurance coordinator also gave me a list of everything I needed to turn in.

I feel very lucky and happy tonight! There is hope if you have Aetna!

Your welcome. I forgot to add that I gained all the weight back between my last appointment with my PCP and surgery date. :blush2: Food funerals were .....great.
