Today is my peer to peer review, I couldn't sleep last night bc I'm so anxiously awaiting the outcome. I was supposedly denied because I don't have a comorbidity. I have a fatty liver, high cholesterol, and pre diabetic. My BMI is 42. Please pray that I get my big fat approval and I can get on with my new life of living instead of just existing! Thank you all in advance!

I still haven't received a call or email. I'm going to wait till 4pm then call my insurance and find it how it went.

It wasn't overturned by the insurance.

Sorry they are giving you such a hard time... Don't give up

I've made an apt with the cardiologist to address some chest discomfort when working out as well as my vein issue in my legs. I also have a sleep study scheduled. Hopefully one of the two will uncover a qualifying co-morbidity.

It's crazy you have to hope for a comorbity! :-( Insurance companies suck!

That stinks! The sleep study can usually uncover sleep apnea, at least that's what my doctor said... and I have 'Horton' to prove it

It really is awful that they want to wait until you are truly sick before they'll do something to help now!

I will be thinking about you, and hoping you can get this approved soon!

Yes I agree. I feel they should help before I have a health condition that could kill me. I am worried about the sleep study because I don't really have any symptoms of sleep apnea.
