    I was denied three times before I got approval. My husband was denied 4 times. The insurance company doesn't want to pay out right away. They're going to try to find every little reason to fight you.

I hope so I been on this journey for 13 months

I was denied three times before I got approval. My husband was denied 4 times. The insurance company doesn't want to pay out right away. They're going to try to find every little reason to fight you. Ask your surgeon to do a peer-to-peer , write a letter describing how the way it affects you and keep pushing.

When I was getting the runaround from my insurance company I pushed through the we don't talk to the insurance barrier and refused to get off the phone until I could speak somebody who could give me actual information. It helped me find out exactly why they were denying me and what ways I could get around that. Don't give up you will make it eventually. It took me 18 months from start to finish and my husband 22 months. He gets sleeved on Wednesday and I will be 4 months out on the 5th.
