So, my hospital called today to preregister for my surgery on 4-10-12.  She needed my authorization number becausee she has it that Aetna denied me!!!  I was so shocked.  I called the insurance to clarify and they have me "approved as secondary payer/insurance only".  My primary insurance denied due to them not covering it.  So I have to do another review to try and switch it to them as the primary payer.  I know they have my first insurance's denial letter.   My hospital and surgeon appointment to get everything set up and paid is on 4-4-12.  I hope it is all resolved by then.  I finally was approved after 14 months and then had 5 days of complete and utter joy.  Then depressed again.  They said to call back on tuesday.  That is so far away!

Has this happened to anyone else? 

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
