So I'm very upset on Wednesday I got a denial letter from my insurance saying my drs office informed them that I was only requesting the surgery due to my weight, so not true I have diabetes, sleep apnea , high cholesterol and PCOS. I called my surgeons office and they claimef they had no idea why they said that. So I called my insurance company and thry informed me that they were told by the very person I have been dealing with at my surgeons office that this was the only reason that person also told me thst she hadn't spoke to th he insurance company I also found out that they never received my PCPs notes or any information regarding any comorbalities. So Friday I called the office manager and she doesn't see where they dud any wrong but this is yhe second time they have tried to get approval the firdt time they inly sent yhe date and no other documents and blamed that on Anthem changing there system do they had that one voided. This time we have to appeal the decision and this week is Thanksgiving and tge office manager and the insurance persin bith gi on a weeks vacation on Wednesday. I am so irritated I having been dea ling with this crap since January half the time the office staff doesn't even return calls I dint want to have to find another surgeon as he is one of the best in hud fueld fir this area. I don't know what to do. Help. Sorry to ramble just frustrated.

I am so sorry you are going through all of this. Hang in there. Have you talked with the surgeon about the issues you are having with his staff and paperwork? If not I would ASAP. Least us know how it turns out.

So I know I haven't updated in a while but I just got the call yesterday and I got approved finally the surgeons office had to get fiestey with my insurance company they said BCBS use to be the easiest to get approved but now they are one of the worst. But I got my date 1/3/2014 at least I get to start the new year off right was suppose to have gone on a mini vavcation with my husband and best friends but that will have to wait this is so much more important for my life.
