Kaiser - Oregon question

I have multiple comorbid conditions (diabetes & sleep apnea) and requested my PCP refer me for Bariatric Surgery. I received the following response, ""you must have 1 or more comorbid conditions UNCONTROLLED despite maximal medical treatment: Htn, OSA, triglycerides >1000, lower extremity edema w ulceration, diabetes". Has anyone else been required to have UNCONTROLLED comorbid conditions? They want me to wait until I am covered by Medicare to send my referral. All help is appreciated.

    It sounds like you may be approved easier with Kaiser Medicare than with what you currently have. Is that a possibility? I've got Kaiser and my comorbid conditions are controlled but I was approved right away. I've also got Medicare. Good luck. Hang in there.
