I'm super excited Aetna approved me in five days. I was so nervous because my surgery date is scheduled for December 26. My navigator did a great job. Thank you Tira of NJBC.

I have Aetna! I hope everything goes that smooth! Did you do the 90 days or 6 months?

I'm not sure in your case but I looked at the clinical policies for weight loss surgeries in the Aetna website and it gave me good information. I suggest you check it out. My navigator was the one that told me I could do the 90 days. Did you call Aetna to ask if you can do the 90 Days. You will need to have 2 year weigh loss history in order for them to approve and about four visits with the bariatric office and also Psychiatric eval.

Oh we been there and done that! Read my story here http://www.verticals...nally-approved/

Aetna can only offer you what the employer choses. My policy, eventhough it is aetna, it is a self paid policy. So employer choses what they will and wont cover and have their own set of rules.

Oh and i should add that eventhough i like my navigator i am pretty pissed with her right now for abandoning my case!

I'm glad you were finally approved but you kept persevering and at the long run it worked you. Did you get approved today also? My surgeon is going to be Dr. Forrester he was referred to me by a co-worker. Also I think they are having surgeries on the 31st; Maybe you can get in on that date.
