Insurance approval



Recommended Posts

I had my last dietician appointment on the 5th , n all the info from the 6 months long clearance is finally over n done with, now I'm just waiting by my phone for the surgeons office to call me with the date ( should be towards the end of this month ). The thought of getting denied by the insurance company hasn't cross my mind till now ???????????????? n it's freaking me out so I just need for them to call me ASAP before my nerves take over

The wait was the worst part for me after that six month long diet and then appointments for this and that. I called a week and a half after my Drs office was suppose to file for approval and they hadn't yet. I was so annoyed. I bugged after that with repeated calls.

I couldn't stand the wait so I called my insurance company yesterday, papers were submitted after my last appointment on the first, and they told me I was approved!! Give it a week or two, you'll know soon enough!

I would call..It wouldn't hurt. Plus that way you can make sure they have everything they need.

I would! I'm inpatient like that lol

lmao ok but what exactly do I say to them

You can just call and tell them you are checking on the status of your VSG approval. My insurance called it pre-certification.

Just what Dede said. That would be perfect. I would say I'm just calling to check the status of my pre certification status on an upcoming surgery my doctor submitted to you this past week. They'll tell you! I'm excited for you! Good luck!

@@ryn2short I called my insurance company today. The representative said she flagged my request so anytime there is a status change she will call me. That way if they need additional information I can stay on top of my doctors office to get it in.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
