so my doctor called me yesterday and said i am covered my insurance i just have to provide 6 month diet history and 5 yr weight history. so i have all of that i've been calling the doctors office for 2 days now they FINALLY called me back a lil bit ago and said "i've called the insurance 3 times and they say its not covered i dont know who called the first time and found out it was covered and put this in your file but you were mis informed you aren't covered." then got off the phone me... to leave me balling my eyes out uncontrollably. how can they do this to a person and have no remorse! they had me so excited and now have crushed me!!! my mother is pissed off! so she called the doctor and they said they can't help what the insurance company says and my mom said you can help what you say. and they said well we'll send her paperwork on how she can pay for it herself. my mom said don't bother she can not afford it!

i am so hurt.. i dont know what to do. i feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest!!!! please someone talk to me.:help:

Good luck!

Update!

i had my interview yesterday!!!! OMG! it was tough! the questions they asked were really hard. they wanted detailed instances when i felt this way or that or i did this or that. and of course the minute they ask the question i suddenly find myself back in high school having never worked anywhere and can't remember a stitch of experience i have!!! i met with the HR lady, then watched a DVD about the company, then the HR lady wanted me to speak w/ 2 supervisors from the department! it was a lil over an hour interview all together. i feel pretty good about it. She said they'll be making a descision after they review the candidates and will call either way whether yes or no! probably this week!!! so please please please pray for me! and i'll let ya'll know once i hear from them.

i called "bigthunder" (see above posts) and told him how the interview went and he said its a good sign that they had me speak to the supervisors cuz he heard that if they aren't interested in you you dont go any further than the HR lady!

:thumbs_up:

I just know you'll get it!

I had the same problem, United Health care called and they told me excluded but as long as employer said ok to cover it and medically necessary and outpatient they would cover. THen started with surgeon to find out "excluded" and no way will they pay. One person at insurance company just said real rudely "we don't pay for obesity". THank you very much. Our company insurance agent told me even if I waited until September when my employer renews insurance it could not be added even if employer said ok because we have less than 3000 employees. Said that most companies will not add until company of that size. I am not sure if that correct or not. I own my house so I borrowed $17,000 to do self pay. Ouch. good luck to you. If self pay not a option really check your new jobs insurance plan out.

I don't believe what your ins agent said at ALL. Size of the company makes no difference. My cousin works for a VERY small company, about 30 employees. Her's was covered! My hubby works for a HUGE company Procter & Gamble, this plant alone has over 3,500 employees. That is not including the thousands of other P&G plants all over the world, who also have the exact same insurance plans. They have an exclusion, and it was NOT covered. I had to pay.
