Yes, I have Aetna and it is one of their requirements to be approved. If you go to their website, you can look it up. It will tell you step by step what is required.

Thanks for responding !!! But I have choosen Ameriealth they dont have as many requirements as Aetna does!! I dont wanna wait 6-8 months with the Aetna... Amerihealth might make me wait 3!!! But my coverage won't be active until January!! And I have a 1500 spending acct in case I have to pay anything out of pocket!!:bounce:

Yes.i just got approved for lapband through AETNA PPO. they took 2 days to approve me and were very, very nice. no problems at all. if i can help you anymore, just let me know.

Did you have to do the 6 month diet process with Aetna or did they just let you go with out it!!

I have AETNA PPO. and had to jump thru all kinds of hoops. 5 year weight loss history, 6 month diet/nutrition plan, co-morbidities list, etc etc etc.

Then 4 weeks after surgery was done, they called and said I was not covered!!!!!

I HATE AETNA

That's why I switched to Amerihealth!! I don't have time for Aetna's BS Iwant someone that will approve me!!
