Any Sleevers w/ Harvard Pilgrim Insurance?



Recommended Posts

Hi There,

I'm new to this website as just recently had my first initial screening with the nurse and now have a bunch of nutritionist, behavior appmnts to attend (6 I believe for Nutrition and 2 Behavior and then more after). My question is, I have Harvard Pilgrim *** and feel nervous about NOT being accepted. I am JUST over the BMI score to qualify , at 40.1 but still nervous as the nurse barely mentioned anything about getting accepted or rejected....just started booking my nutrition appmnts and said I basically qualify because I am 40.1. Im worried Harvard Pilgrim will deny me for some reason. Also, can anyone tell me how long the process took? 3 mo, 4 mo, 6 mo? The Program folks never really give me a firm date form beginning to end, unless I just need to meet my appmnt quantities and then its go time after that? Any Harvard Pilgrim folks that can chime in re denial or acceptance and how long, --much appreciated. Thanks.

I’m in the same boat! I feel just as confused as you do about my HP requirements and only by reading these posts did I discover that approval can take a while. I have my required ultrasounds and blood tests scheduled tomorrow and I’m finding out I have to pay $500 because of my deductible. I thought full coverage meant I would t have to pay so I’m going to jot down a list of questions for my weight loss program so I can move forward more confidently. It seems “all set” when you go for first consult but I have a feeling it can still go either way. Good luck! Lmk if you find out anything helpful.

      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!!
