Denied...frustrated!



Recommended Posts

I got a call last month from my dr. office saying I was approved...brought me in for my pre op appointment. Later that day I was called and told that No that they hadn't gotten the approval and that I might have to do the 6 month I can change program (tufts). it's been two weeks and they kept asking for more and more paperwork, which my dr. office kept sending them last night they denied me. missing clinical paperwork missing! My dr. office calls and tells me that she's working with someone and that she is going to resubmit it with the missing stuff. I call and as questions ( I hate waiting!) and the insurance woman tells me that no a denial is a denial and that my Dr. can call in and speak to the medical director one-on-one and perhaps that would be better than an actual appeal. My dr. is now on vacation till the 9th! UGH i'm so upset and frustrated right now! who is tell me the truth? did they not send the paperwork? did the insurance co mess up?? I just want my approval!!!

I am SO sorry! It is so hard waiting. It will happen for you. Just keep doing what the doctor says and I know it is hard, just be patient. :)

Hi,

Were you denied becuase you didnt do the I can Change program with Tufts (i have them). I know from talking to the place I am going and with Tufts that they will NOT approve you until you finish this program and its 6 months long. If you havent done the program then that would be the missing documentation as they provide a "graduation" letter at the end and this needs to be submitted with the paperwork the doctor submits. Im done with my program next month and i cant wait!! Now i just need to get my surgery date. Im sorry your so frustrated but have you called Tufts directly? Wishing you luck!!

I was told by tufts that I didn't need to do it because I already had surgery and the band failed. I hate all this waiting. Its not healthy

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
