Anybody Have Problems With Insurance After Surgeon Had Peer To Peer With Insurance Director?



Recommended Posts

I was told by my surgeon's office manager that my doc was having a peer to peer review with my insurance yesterday and that it is common. She assured me that I would get a phone call from the office in the afternoon. She made it seem as if my surgery date should not be affected. No phone call. I called and the answering service was on before the end of their hours of operation ended. I tried calling this morning, again answering service was activated during hours of operation. Finally, I reached an office rep and she told me the two ladies in charge of bariatric are not in but will be shortly. I just called and the answering service told me they are in a meeting until 1. I am so angry! My supervisor keeps asking me when am I leaving and expected to go out and I don't have a confirmation from these morons. I understand some patients don't work, but dammit I do. I can't just get up and leave my work piled up for someone else. I am trying to do as much as I can before I leave but this worrying and stressing is giving me a focusing issues. My mind is everywhere. I can't wait to get ahold of this office manager and I will definitely be complaining to many higher ups. UUUUUgggghhhh!!!!

Did you try calling the insurance company? If everything went OK with the peer-to-peer, they should have the info and it should be in process on their side.

update:

I called my ins co Monday the 8th and found out some of my info was not sent to ins co. I called the surgeon's office and was told that info was sent. Not even an hour later I received a call that my denial was overturned and I am one wk postop today. Thank you for the advice. I feel great and can see the difference already.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
