Calling Diana Cox
Is your friend on Medicare or Medicare Advantage? There is a difference. On Medicare, there isn't an issue...she is covered for WLS. And actually on Medicare Advantage, there SHOULD be a clause in the policy that says "except when considered MEDICALLY necessary".

Yeah, I can see that happening. I would have probably fainted.
But I had watched the claims sit there for a month "processing" so I knew something was up. This isn't a "opps, I'm sorry on their part" They meant to do it. Now to get the surgeon's office and the hospital battling for their money. They are use to it and they want their money worse than I want them paid, LOL.
