Aetna - Approved!

I switched to Aetna starting 9/1/20 since I was denied by IBX (after they said it would be covered). I got the call this morning that I am approved already! My surgeons office submitted the paperwork on Friday.

I did Optifast for the dietician appointments so I could get the 12 appointments in 3 months instead of 6 months.

My surgery date is October 14!

7 months later than expected but finally happening!

    Our insurance switched to Aetna on 9-1-20 as well. My paperwork was submitted today so I'm hoping to have as quick of an approval!

    Congratulations & Best of Luck!!
