help i've been denied

hi all it is saturday and my doc's office is closed and i am in panic, i have been denied by health net because i am 39 bmi not 40 but i am a type 2 dieabetic, my surgery is supposed to be march14th!!! what do i do? has anyone been denied than was approved? i am so confused thanks in advance jess

Don't panic. Talk to your doctor on Monday, if he really believes that you should have the surgery then he will do everything that he can to help you out. I have heard of ones that were denied and then approved, just keep praying and I know that your prayers will be answered. Jean Zarzycki

thanks i just needed to be told not to panic lots of luck to u! xoxo jess

Hey, Jess, don't worry! Just do what I did, talk to your surgeon Monday, then call your insurance co and tell them that u r going to hire an Obesity Lawyer if u get denied on the appeal. I did that and was approved 2 hours later. I was told by my insurance co that they were going to deny my appeal after my first denial so I WAS going to hire an attorney, Gary Viscio, HE ROCKS!, but when I told them that I didn't have to hire him. My friend Stacy did the same when she was denied and she got approved like I did! God Bless Angela

great advice ty

Well I hope it works. It did for me and my friend. Keep me posted. Angela

hey angela, i have contact the doctor's office and the insurance company, the insurance compay said they never received any medical history on me and that is why i was denied so fast! but i have put in for an appeal, and my doctor is talking with them, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed! oh, and by the way, i kinda dropped a hint that i had a lawyer! they said i didn't need one at this time! lol thanks again xoxo jess

Great, I hope u hear good news soon. Can your Drs office fax all the paperwork or do they have to mail it? Dropping a hint about a lawyer can't hurt, lol... Angela

they r going to fax it, thanks for your help xoxo jess

That is wonderful, good luck and u r welcome, I wish u the best! Hugs Angela
