Rats....denied!

Well, I am off to battle now with my insurance company. Just got a call from my plastic surgeon office and Aetna denied my tummy tuck. It will pay for it but you know the routine they want 3 months of documented paper work! UGH....so now I have to play the paper game with them to get this approved. I am determined that I will WIN....!!!!! Karie -116

Karie, Sorry to hear about the denial from your insurance company. Did you have a hard time with the WLS as far as a denial? I had to deal with that one. Just keep fighting, You will get it..... Good Luck.... Lorraine

No they approved my WLS the first time. I kinda expected them to deny it the first time...you know how they are. However, its not over til the fat lady sings and quess what........ I am no longer FAT!!!! Karie

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Take care....Let this fat lady sing with you also in your quest for you approval Lorraine

Sorry to hear you have to fight for this. Can I ask what exactly they want documented for three months? Good luck to you on this, let us know. Diane

They want 3 months worth of me complaining to my doctor is what it boils down to. They want me to complain about rashes from the excess skin, my PS said to write in my appeal that it interfers with exercising, sexual activity, buying clothing, and even say that it effects my daily hyigene. You know how insurance is.......paper paper paper paper....what do they do with all that paper? So I will be making appointments to speak with my doctor and will be taking some lovely photos of the excess skin with any break outs etc that occur for the next three months. Karie
