I just received the letter of approval on Friday - three days after the doctor's first letter. How can you beat that? Mine is PPO with Principal in Iowa.

I got approved within a week of Principal of Colorado receiving my letter from my surgeon's office. It was pretty amazing the quick response I received from my insurance company. I wish all insurance companies responsed as well. Good luck to you.

I had Principal Healthcare last year. I had inquired into surgery then and was told that it was NOT covered. It was listed in the exclusion list (list of things that were not covered). when I called them about it they told me that it was up to the employer on what was to be covered under insurance. The employers that sign on the insurance companies decide whether they want to pay for certain procedures. Check in your benefits book or call to see if they cover obesity management/treatments. I had to change insurance if I was going to have a fighting chance. Oh yeah my ins was based out of IN. Hope this helped and wasn't too confusing. Tammy
