Three weeks ago i turned in my request for approval for Lapband.. called the doctors office they said they hadn't heard anything from the Insurance company. So, I call the insurance company to find if they got the request..and what do you know.. THEY NEVER GOT IT! GRR. So now i have to turn in a new request and wait another 3 weeks to hear something. Just peeves me off that somehow my paperwork got "lost" When i saw them put my file in with abut 5 other peoples request. Wonder if their request got lost as well:mad:

Sorry about that. I would wait to see when they do it again and bug the insurance company. Also, if you have surgery scheduled sometimes they will authorize quickly. Just a suggestion. YOu can alwasy reschedule. My surgeon allowed that. Good luck. Julie

Yeah, they "lost" mine the first time, too.

Keep on top of them.

Good Luck!

Oh my God--I know what you mean. I paid up front for everything and am now trying to get reimbursed from United HealthCare--what a nightmare! They have screwed everything up--I have had to send one check back 2 times because they keep using the wrong tax ID number when they process it, and they are sending payments to the providers instead of me, and lots of other crap. I had my surgery in November and have not gotten any money back yet. It is sooooo frustrating!
