Got my call today! And YAY! I was DENIED BUT I'm Happy!

  • Popular Post

So last week when I called my insurance to check the status of my case that was still in review I found out that I got submitted for the Lap Band and not the sleeve. I changed my mind since the first dr appt in 9/13 and I thought that my final decision would be when I get approved and meet with the surgeon. So I didn't know they use the 1st set of notes from the first meet and submit for a specific surgery and not just for weight loss surgery overall. So the hospital called and tried to change the procedure but UHC said they need a new letter and notes. So I made a Oct 7th appointment to meet with Dr.Bagloo and talk and decide on the sleeve so they can open a new case.

So the case manager calls me today and told me that I was denied JUST due to the fact I need a new letter stating I want the sleeve and also by time I go to my appointment my psych evaluation will be expired. I had it 10/7/13 and my appointment is 10/7/14 lol. The lady said I can just get an amendment to the first one but the Dr I first saw moved. So I need a new one. So when she told me that was the only thing stopping me from getting approved I was so happy!! lol ONE because I didn't want the wls that was first submitted and SECOND its a easy fix and after I get the new letters I will get approved! So got a new psychiatrist appointment 10/2/14.

A week from today I will be in Costa Rica with a less worried mind!
