Change in insurance



Recommended Posts

After seminar, consult and 2 nutritionist appts, my company is switching insurance companies and that office is not covered. Now I have to switch Drs and not sure if I need to start all over. Has anyone had experience with this?

It will be up to the surgeon's office and the insurance company, but it might be possible to transfer the records and have it count. But the requirements could all be different - email the insurance and email the approved surgeon and ask - that way you at least have it in writing.

Good idea. I'm going from Oxford to Aetna. I know a few people who have used the Aetna approved Dr and love him. If I have to start over again, I only did two nut visits so at least I wasn't at the end then had to switch. I just don't want to do seminar again.

Not that this would be an issue for you, but just kind of an fyi.... I have Aetna and u cant have any net gain of weight at all during the 6 mos. (I didnt know if you had a chance to look through or see all the specifics.) Idk why, but its my worse fear that im gonna show up to the last of my visits and somehow be like .5 lbs over or something.... lol I'm a worrier.

Just figured it was better to know now, incase it was transferable. Good luck 😊

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
