Almost there

Jul 17, 2012

I have completed all my requirements according to the surgeon's office as of the end of June. Now we are on the battle that makes the biggest decision....The Battle of Insurance!

My file was submitted to insurance for approval on July 3rd. By July 6th, the rejection letter was sent. So on July 11th (after I called the insurance and found out about the rejection) I told the surgeon's office and they were going to find out why.

Round 2: The missing page ( that was there the whole time) was flagged and the file was resent through the Medical Director. So,....I called today and yup! I was rejected again. They don't like the page that shows I was knowledgable of the behavioral and nutritional changes I will have to go through.

Round 3: Now I am waiting for my surgeon's office to call me back to get the next step. Oh the headache.

7/25/12 Update: Well, I am now scheduled to meet with the surgeon tomorrow to have him produce a letter that says I agree to join Weight Watchers or Curves or something like that to help me stay on track. Then hopefully, HOPEFULLY I can get approved.
