2nd time denied for more info



Recommended Posts

Was denied last month saying the wanted an echo test, food journals, and pulmonary function test. Resubmitted, and 3 days later they want more stuff. Now a cardiac clearance and drug test. 8 months into this, and frustrated. Trying to stay positive. :/

Thanks. I've done all that as well. I just hate that insurance requires certain things, then when you are done with that and ready, they keep adding more. But I'm staying optomistic :)

I have HIP plus through Indiana. They have the norm 6months requirements with tests, nut, psychologist evaluation, and went through everything needed quickly. So at my 6 month visit submitted and 2 months later still waiting. Just disheartening

I have HIP plus also. MDWise. What carrier do you have? I've been hoping to find someone that is farther along than me in the process with the same insurance so I can get an idea of what I have to look forward to. It's not looking like I'll have an easy road ahead of me...

I have MHS. They have several requirements to do for your 6 months. Then after they keep adding more when I submit. Waiting now for the heart hospital to call with an appointment for my clearance and drug test. Then Resubmitted

Ugh. I wonder if it is the same for all HIP carriers. Did you have any pre-existing conditions that would make them request the extra tests, or a history of heart or pulmonary issues, or do you think its just a standard requirement?

I do not have any history. I was sick after xmas and they thought it was pneumonia, but wasn't so put me on an inhaler for the time being. But previous to this, I've had no health problems besides high blood pressure.

Would you rather not have any insurance? Imagine paying for every dime of your healthcare without it.

Well, then that is probably something that I'll have to do also.

What hospital are you having your surgery at?

Absolutely not. I know I am blessed to have the insurance that I have. As I've said I am optomistic, it is just disheartening when you keep expecting something to happen and it doesnt. That's a normal reaction.

I live in Mitchell, but I'm having mine done at IU health north, in Carmel. It's about a two hour drive for me, but I'm hoping all these trips will be worth it, and I'll get approved.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
