I was approved in 1 day. You have to be approved for the surgery before they will approve your endoscopy that is required by Dr Mitchell 2 weeks before surgery. |

It was very hard dealing with this insurance company. The wording of my policy was what the hold up was. They insisted that I have a letter from my Internest stating all my diet attempts. I had several letters from other physicians, other surgeons I thought about using etc. I had to consult a lawyer about the wording and tell Accordia that I was willing to take the steps to get this approved. After that talk and several phone calls I was finally approved. I would recommend people with Accordia read and re read the policy on Gastric Bypass Surgery and learn it. Do everything they tell you and keep track of all the phone calls and who you talked to. Make sure that if you have to appeal that the same reviewer doesn't do the appeal (that happend to me). From what I understand that same person can not re review it because they are not bias. Keep being persistant and push them to give you the answer as to why you need to appeal and keep after them. |

I was also covered by my husband's insurance, CIGNA. They, too, responded favorably within 3-4 weeks of the first letter.
It was a pleasure to deal with both insurance providers. They did not stall, and the case managers were always gracious and extremely helpful. |

I did have to wait what seemed forever to finally get approval from my insurance company, but to their defense most of that was waiting on the surgeons office to send the insurance company more information that they had requested to prove medical necessity.I sent in my pre-approval the first week in November and finally heard today,4/4/01. I called the insurance company at least twice a week and they were always nothing but considerate and patient with me and my questions. |

Slow process but can be quickened with persistance.
They stall a great deal. My initial letter was sent by Dr. Soufa in August 2000. Once I got a surgeon on board that was certified to perform the procedure he sent a detailed letter and approval was immeadiate to his letter. It was faxed to them on February 24, 2001 and I was granted approval on March 4, 2001 |

I didn't have to do anything. Dr. Proctor has all of their procedures and requests so well taken care of it only took 2 weeks to get approved. Although I did call and speak with my insurance representative a few times, I still didn't have to deal with them myself. The only delay was the girl at Dr. Proctors office didn't talk directly with my representative and got some conflicting information and had to have my rep. fax her something in writing stating the percentage to be covered. |

I had no difficulties to report, I was approved after just 4 days.
I recommend to see what your insurrance requires for your paperwork, pre surgery. That is what enabled me to be approved so fast, I had everything ready for the insurrance company, so there was no hold ups of them needing more information. |

Was told by my HR person at work "I'll just twll you-we've never approved it" Contact with the insurance comp. went well because I was polite and kept calling back. Made sure I called the same person(get her name and write it down),was friendly,asked her help officialy. Because of a history at work of insurance provider changes plus different primary care providers,I had 75 pages of medical history sent to them for information. My first denial was for"no effidence of DR and/or Dietitican controlled weight loss attempts" When I called,the insurance person zzi talked to said they had 45 pages! Took 7 wks to get approval. |

The Bariatric Program Coordinator at Mission Hospitals where I had the surgery, Diana Fischer, was paramount in handling the insurance company for me. She provided me with all the information that I needed and I had zero problems with the insurance company. Their response was very timely. I would definitely recommend Acordia to others. |

Hopefully this will help others go through the insurance war. I filed for 6 weeks or more. The insurance carrier , at first, could not find my filing. I faxed a new copy to them After 2 weeks, they could not find it again, they said they sent it to another dept, since it required overnight stay. Thankfully I talked to someone who cared! They set it up to file through the RN, and 2 days later, I was approved! It will save a lot of time and heartache to go through the right channels the first time. Also, another
reccomendation is to send it with a signature required for reciept.
Good Luck,
Kevin
P.S. I found out my surgeon, Dr. Rutledge was doing an outdated surgery, and
had to go through the whole process again.
It was much easier through The Bariatric Treatment Center. They were really great! |

They have kicked back several claims. Ex. Claiming my primary care Dr. did not submit the pre-certification referral to my surgeon which he did. So after a few faxes I think it is covered. Since my first attempt succeeded, I would definitely recommend them. I will update as claims get paid or rejected throughout the process. |

Aetna approved my surgery in 48 hours. They approved an in network surgeon and said I could use out of network benefits to see Dr. Champion. I appealed the decision on the grounds that there were no in network surgeons who performed the lap RNY which had been approved. In 10 days I received a call that the appeal had been approved. They agreed to pay for the procedure in network using Dr. Champion. The entire insurance process took a little under 3 weeks. Not bad to get 100% coverage. |

Excellent, doctor staff sent info in and I was approved within 4 days. I had definite medical conditions related to weight and had definite history of 3-4 physician followed diets/methods. It seems to me that Aetna is one of the best for approving this surgery after reading the web site and according to my doctor's office. She was relieved when I said Aetna! |

8/23/01 ~My surgeon's office sent an approval request for a Duodenal Switch, and it was rejected. I have now been approved for an open RNY. The whole process only took a few weeks, but I plan to appeal and plead a case for the DS. 9/19/01 ~I've sent a well-researched appeal letter, and am eagerly awaiting a response. 10/04/01 ~ Still waiting to hear from Aetna. Surgery date has been postponed (there are other factors involved, too). I'm SO TIRED of waiting! 1/10/02 ~ Aetna denied my appeal for a DS, but they'll still cover the RNY. Not good enough! I WILL be having my DS on 2/25/02 and Aetna can go pound sand! |

I sent my primary care doctors referral along with a personal letter. My letter included the medical problems I was experiencing because of obesity. Within 2 days I was approved. I ran in to one problem however, the hospital the surgeon used was out of network. I requested non-par approval and received it quickly. Aetna's approval nurse was obnoxious. I needed to provide updated information and she wouldn't take my call. I called 4 times over a 2 week period. Each time, my call was screened and I was put through to her voice mail. Finally, my PCP called and asked if I was trying to get through to the nurse. I told her of my attempts and she said that the nurse refused to speak to patients. Excuse me....why wasn't I told that on the first call. Anyway...it's ended well, but customer service at Aetna is in need of improvement. |

I thought dealing with Aetna was fine. I got the info from my original surgeon (and mailed it to them personally. After one week I called and they said that I had mailed it to the wrong address. It was the one THEY had given me... "Here we go", I thought but it was actually fine. I faxed it in that day and was approved 3 weeks later. I do feel that they responded to persistence because after 1 weeks I called almost every day. I would recommend that you start off prepared with all of your info. Initially, make sure you follow up with the date that they received your info. Keep track of dates and time you called and names of the reps you speak to. When you are certain they have received your info, I would wait two weeks and call each day if you are obsessive like me or call every few days. |

I know that Aetna has an approval clause for the Roux-En-Y bypass and will approve it based on two criteria. 1) bmi greater than 40 and 2) been on doctor supervised diet for at least 6 mos within the last 2 years. With a BMI of 65.1, I definitely pass no. 1, but I may have an issue with no. 2. I will let you all know as soon as I find out. Well, After 4 weeks of calling daily, Aetna finally came through with my approval. I haven't got the paperwork in the mail yet, but I have talked to Aetna and they have approved on my information. |

My insurance co was great. The bariatric surgeons offic did not send enough info. I needed past two years medical hist from family doctor. But insur co notified everyone by phone as well as in writing. Some wires got crossed with where to mail the info which caused about a two week delay. Aetna was very proactive and kept me informed. It is very important that you have a documented medical and psychological history. You have to prove that you have done everything humanly possible to loose weight. I had done all my homework and there were really no probs with insur. |

You have to have 6 months worth of a physician supervised diet. I did not have that at first and was denied. Luckily I have a wonderful pcp that helped me get approved. I did have to wait the 6 months and see my pcp each month to weigh. |
