Insurance Set Back

Jul 14, 2015

In my last post I was told I was at the finish line. It was shortly after that, that I got the bad news. Originally my insurance company (several times in fact) told me that I wouldn't be required to complete the 6 month doctor monitored diet program. Then after submitting everything for approval they informed me that I was told wrong.. apparently many times. Also since I had no names of the employees I talked to or any reference numbers there would be nothing they could do. SO, I immediately started seeing my doctor for monthly weight loss. I'll be starting month 4 in August. I was really looking forward to having my surgery before Summer and I couldn't tell you how upset I was that it was denied. Heart broken.. just devastated. I talked to my doctors and one set up a sleep study so I'll be going in for that this week and my pcp will be doing all she can to help as well. I'm not sure if I have to start all over from step 1 or if my completed monthly paper work will just be added to my pile. I should be finished with my 6 months by the beginning of November. I guess I'm due a phone call to my surgeons office to see if I should be redoing paperwork.
