Jan,

I had RNY done 2/17 at Magee Hospital My Dr is Anita Courcoulous her office number is 412 641-3632.  Her nurse Vicky is wonderful and will be able to assist you!  They have a great program called Body Changers and the nutritionists there are wonderful!

My insurance replied saying it was not in my coverage benefits and that they would consider approving if my Doctor does a peer to peer. I'm still waiting for my Doctor to do that, but i was interviewed by a case worker who is fighting on my behalf also waiting on reply on that.

Just wondering why they denied you? Is there specific language that says bariatrics are not covered? Is there a requirement that you didn't complete for approval? Do they say you don't weigh "enough" to qualify?

I did not have to deal with denial but Capitol Blue Cross did everything in the world to delay my approval - it took 18 months. And right after my surgery our policy was changed to remove any coverage for bariatrics. 

Be persistent!

The holidays are not stopping us!  We are on the schedule for 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Barix in Langhorne for our April Support Group Meeting.  Come give and get the support we all need on this journey. It doesn't matter what type of surgery you had or where you had it.  All are welcome, even those who are still considering the surgery.  No matter where you are in the journey, we want you to get all the support you need.  A nutritionist is on hand to answer questions, and one of the topics this month is:  Self-Sabotage:  What is it? What do we do it? How can we stop it?

 


Blessings, Jill
