Aetna Insurance

I want to have weightloss surgery . And just wondering if any one has went through Aetna for pre certification and did you have any problems with getting it done ?

I have Aetna and had no problems other than they were swamped and it took 2 months for the approval. There are two kinds of groups I think they said. My group is a YRP number and it is something specific to Indiana. Anyway, NO, it was not a problem and they went with it and paid for almost all of it. I am very pleased and have no complaints. Best of luck to you! Tracy

I have Aetna and did all my pre cert and was approved within a week.

Good luck.

My surgeon office was fantastic. They knew exactly what Aetna required. Made sure i completed all the requirments then submited the request. I was approved within one week of sending info to Aetna. With Aetan it is easy. Do what they require and you will have not problems.

I have Aetna too, and my surgeon's office knew just what Aetna required, so I got it all done, and it got submitted.  The first submission was misplaced somewhere, so the pre-determination coordinater at the surgeons office made a call, and she was given a new reference number and was told they would put a rush on the approval.  I was approved on 08/06/08, surgery was on 08/21.  :-)  I didn't really care for Aetna due to problems they caused with paying bills about 14 yrs ago, but this time they came through for me.  Thank God.

Just do what Aetna requires and you should have no problems.  Your surgeon's office should know what each different insurance requires so you'll be good to go.
