I started this process 2 years ago but stopped because I didn't care for the Dr. that I chose. I started again in November with Dr. Hanna in Las Vegas and I am so happy! At the end of the month I am done with my 3 months supervised diet (was able to use the months from the previous try for a total of 6) so the Dr office sent off my redetermination on monday to Aetna and I got approved this morning!!! Woo Hoo!!! My surgery is scheduled for April 18th..I am sooo excited :-)

Aetna was the best for me too. No issues with pre approval very straight forward. I love that they have bariatric case workers that help you along the way as well. I have been sleeved a month and love it already. Good luck on your journey.

I have aetna too (also in Vegas) when do you get a bariatric case worker? I haven't even heard of that and my surgery is next month?

Once your surgery date is set you get a case worker. I speak to mine weekly.

I was told that my insurance follows Aetna's criteria. Does that mean I will be approved easily?

I have Aetna fed plan and my process was so easy...did three month multi disciplinary, was submitted march 7th and was approved on Tuesday and scheduled for next Wednesday. Tell me more about how to get the baratric nurse??? Never heard of such

Call number on card ask for bariatric case worker for your case.
