How long to get denial reason letter?



Recommended Posts

I was denied 11/8 for the gastric sleeve and dont know why yet as I had called and got my answer. So I'm waiting on the letter they send out to tell me exactly why. How long did it take if you got one? 7-10 days is the normal they said but I'm praying itll be less! Or did your surgeons office get the letter emailed first?

Probably 8-10 days, real or business days, take your pick. Before Thanksgiving? From my mouth👄 to God's Ear👂! Dirty, Rotten, Nasty, Uncalled for? All of the Above!

Damn. I'm so upset. I legit think it's because when they requested more info it said, that the patient is not being treated for GERD and my dr didnt address that and the insurance coordinator didnt catch it and sent it in. :( praying that's all it is and that we can just point it out in the provided chart notes that it's not indicated I am and dont need to appeal.

I cannot get this surgery next year, this is my only chance!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
