Commissioning all prayers and good will
I have been fighting Aetna since May for approval for my VSG. A little background - I first got denied because they said that I didn't meet medical criteria I had lost about 35 pounds during one year that brought be below the required BMI but only for a few months. I promptly gained the weight back and then some. So I appealed and once the appeal letter came back it stated I did meet the medical criteria but I didn't get pysch clearance which was untrue. I faxed in another copy of pysch clearance thinking that is all I needed and every thing should be cool. However that was not the case. I had to do a second appeal (even though they confirmed that they received the pysch clearance. So I have a tele conference scheduled for tomorrow at 11:30am with a panel chosen by Aetna and I have to state my case. They have really given me the run around but If I can get approved, it will be well worth the drawn out, unfair fight. So please I am commissioning all prayers and good will that I will get approved. They said they will make their decision in 5 business days. Thanks in advance for listening.
