My insurance just changed its policy from 6months Dr prescribed diet to 3 months!!!

My insurance just changed its policy from 6months Dr prescribed diet to 3 months!!!

Question!!!

I found out yesterday that Medical Mutual denied the surgery because our policy will only approve if I am more than twice my ideal body weight. THIS information was NOT relayed at the time the doctors office called Medical Mutual asking about coverage. Has this happened to many of you? I am going to appeal....but Medical Mutual did tell me on the phone yesterday that the psych and dietician appoint,ents would be covered because they had originally told the Dr. Office the wrong info. Any thoughts would truly be appreciated. Thank you all so much!!

Wow I have Medical Mutual of Ohio also and just got the news today. I am totally estatic!!

OK....Nowwww my family and friends are soo upset I am going to Mexico for surgery. Any tips on how to respond to my loved ones??

I'm from Ohio too! Just I have no insurance and trying to find ways to pay for this surgery on my own! NOT easy at all! I wish the surgery cost what it does in Mexico!!

As for your family I would either

A) Let them know that you need this surgery to live, and you do not have the money to do this, at least not at the cost they charge in the state. Mexico is much cheaper, and just as good! However, if they have a problem with you going to Mexico, you would be more than happy to allow them to help pay for your surgery! Donations will be gladly accepted!

or

Pick the the one person who you would want to join you in Mexico and convience them that this would be a vacation of a life time! lol..

No really. They are probably upset because they are unfamiliar with Mexico's stats on the surgery. I think education would pay off (hopefully). I wish you the best of luck!
