Did you have to have any preexisting medical conditions such as high blood pressure or sleep apnea for Medi-cal to Approve you?
I have Molina of Ohio Insurance right now and am trying to find someone that does the psych evaluations to be approved for my surgery in the Miami Valley so that I don't have to pay out of pocket..Any suggestions???
Re-Posted from the RNY forum
After reading lots and lots of posts on this site, I really can't say I'm surprised. I got the usual "Missing Paperwork" runaround. It's so frustrating because my surgery date is the 30th of this month (my surgeon is very busy and so they scheduled me back in April) Cigna has had my paperwork, all of it, since June 2. Now they say it will take 5 more days to give me an answer. I'm supposed to start my liquid diet on Monday!! Does anyone know how long an approval is generally good for? It could be months before the surgeon is able to fit me in if we have to change the date.

So, that explains it. They didn't refuse service but I sure did enjoy the billing person at the surgeons office reaming her out on the phone in front of me. Just because she was so *****y about it all. Commission on WLS.......hmmmm.
I would have enjoyed that, too. They ask everyone with private insurance for an upfront portion no matter what they are there for. MRI exams are king of $$$ and they are included.

Bariatric Surgery is in the media again. Today's episode of The Doctors television show included a portion on bariatric surgery. It is a couple, Tina and Randy, that had RNY together. Dr. Philip Schauer performed their surgery and was included in the episode.
Make sure to watch the episode tomorrow as they will be covering gastric bypass surgery and robotics.
