Aetna denied me
Hi guys,
Yup they waited til the 29th day to call my surgeon's office and tell them I am denied.
Shirley (insurance coordinator) noticed that the Aetna nurse keyed the wrong code and so the nurse resubmitted the right code about an hour ago. I could use your prayers again as the same doc will look it over and make a decision.
The denial was due to diet and nutrition info. and that is all they said. I will get a letter from them explaining it and they will not ellme anything else.
I do not know what is wrong becaue I did the 6 month physician supervised diet and sent in the records from the doc.??
Needless to say, I am frustrated and irritated with Aetna! BUT I will not QUIT!! I will have my surgery and they WILL PAY for it!
Thanx for listening guys

I am so sorry Sallykate!
Lately it seems that every post I read has people getting approved quickly and talking about things moving quickly. But I have now been waiting over 4 months. (I did a 3 month supervised weight loss thing). And it seems like things are moving like molasses.
Hang in there. Fight for it if you must! I wouldn't take the first no and pay for it myself. Fight them. They sometimes say no at first hoping you will drop it!
Good luck!
