Insurance Screw up?

Uh no thanks, Monday.

Quick question:

I received the approval via my surgeon's office last week for my sleeve.

Today, the hospital called and told me I was only approved for the band and for Reux-en-Y.

I have a call into my surgeon's office but has anyone else had this happen?

As someone who works for an insurance company and on the team who appoved/denies surgeries, even though that isn't my main job, I would call the insurance company yourself and ask to speak with them if possible. Each insurance company has to have a policy, and the policy of your insurance company may be that they only cover the full bypass or the band, you may want to check with them and see what their policy is on the matter, if you didn't already.
