So, I know that I keep posting about this but I'm desperate to find someone who has used Lindstrom. I was denied by insurance company with a peer to peer. My doctor only does peer to peers, and not appeals. So now I am stuck doing it. I contacted Kelley Friday and spoke with her. She made me incredibly hopeful. The basis for my denial was there was no mechanical failure of the band. Kelley suggested I see a Gastroenterologist. I made the appointment as soon as she suggested it. Went today for a consultation and barium swallow. My barium swallow showed reflux, which I knew I had. However it showed that the bad was positioned correctly. Has anyone else been in this situation.

Have anyone ever used golden rule health insurance for bariatric surgery before. Their a subsidiary of UnitedHealthcare, but alot if their benefits seems scketchy even though my broker keeps saying their valid and widely excepted, but yet he couldn't really tell me if there good on wls or not only he could say is I wont be able to get the surgery for 12 months if it's "pre-existing ".

It is self pay.
in the nearly 9 years I have been a member of this forum. I haven't seen many self pay plans that cover was.
I would insist on seeing the plan coverage itself that says it is covered.
