Could you please PM this info?

Thanks,

Hello - I have Aetna and myself and all three of my kids have had surgery and were approved through Aetna.  You DO have to do a physician supervixed diet by completing a 6 month physician supervised diet or the 3 month Multidisciplinary program. 

If you go to Aetna.com and type in 0157 in the search box it will bring up the clinical bulletin that lists the requirements needed for approval.  I can send you a PM to let you know everything we did and what you need to do to get approved if you would like.

Hi - I have Aetna and I had surgery along with my three kids.  We all were approved doing the 3 month multidisciplinary program.  Two of us were denied at first and I had to appeal but it was overturned.  I have documentation I can send you if you have questions about what is required. 

You don't need to see an exercise therapist, we simply documented our exercise with our physician. although, we did see a dietician who also was an ercise specialist and she documented our exercise program. 

I will send you a PM with further info of how we got approved though Aetna and if you have questions feel free to PM me!

My agent told me Aetna does not require a diet in order to be qualified for surgery.  Does anyone know if this is true?

Ok well then I am heading in the right direction. I joined a gym and the trainer there agreed to document my progress. Thank you that helped clear my confusion. How long did it take for yr approval?
