Are there any Chase Bank employees out there??? I would really love to hear how the insurance process went!! PLEASE let me know!!!

Hey everyone, I'm a teller in Shreveport, Louisiana with United Health care and I'm am in need of some help. I got my letter in the mail stating I had met the pre-notification requirements...did anyone else get that kind of letter before their surgery. I called the insurance co. like 5 times and they say that the letter I got is the approval letter but it's not worded in that way. I was expecting a letter that said YES YOU ARE APPROVED...but it didn't state it that way. My insurance coordinator through my doctor was unsure about it also but she called and they told her the same thing, that I was approved. I don't want to go have the surgery and then United Health care say no I wasn't covered for the lapband. Anyone else have this problem?

anything with terms saying ur have met the "precertified or pre notification" requirments means u are approved in health insurance lingo. U stated a rep at UHC confirmed that with u, so u are approved through them. UHC doesnt require all those monthly hoops like all the other insurances....they are the easiest if u were already at the bmi of 40 or more from the get go.

Hello Fellow JP Morgan Chaser's!!

Well I have initiated the process to have the lap band surgery completed.

We went "live" as JP Morgan Chase employee's on July 1, on that day I saw my primary physician got my letter,on the 2nd had my seminar lap band class and then on the 16th had my consult with the surgeon!

Per my surgeon he wants to schedule me for the surgery by the end of next month...so all I have left to do to complete the process is meeting with the nutritionist and then my psych eval and in the interim they're getting the approval from the insurance company!

I'm sssooo excited but at the same time don't want to get overly excited in the event there is some last minute changes etc...but so far the proces has been smooth sailing and everything has fallen into place.

This has been two years in the making...when I started the initial time my previous employer opted out of doing the surgery in the middle of me going thru the process and our insurance no longer covered the surgery. Since that time I gained ALL 70 plus pounds I lost BACK!!! UGH!!!

But now that I'm under JP Morgan Chase I'm covered again and looking forward to a trimmer me!!

Any recommendations and/or things anyone can recommend to "prep" for leading up to the surgery to help keep everything moving on my end?

Hello Colleagues,

I received my APPROVAL letter yesterday afternoon from my insurance company for the Bariatic Surgery!!!!

I'm so excited...that was the FINAL process for me in order to be able to set an actual date with the surgeon!!

This has been a very efficient and expedient process this time around.

Therefore, I should be banded by the end of this month!

YESSSSS,

Trimme
