With Bellows I used LHC. didnt have any trouble with approval and no hospital bills whatsoever.

and yep, I had to have another sleep study done as well, even though I have had sleep apnea since 2009.

I KNOW THAT THINGS ARE GOING TO WORK OUT FOR YOU....AND I ALSO HAVE LHC, I WAS SCOPED ON FRIDAY, THEY FOUND A HERNIA, I WENT BACK YESTERDAY ON WED TO TULANE DOWNTOWN AND HAD ANOTHER TEST DONE. NOW I WAS TOLD I NEEDED ANOTHER SLEEP STUDY TEST DONE BY SEPT 7. DID YOU HAVE TO DO ALL OF THIS FOR INSURANCE APPROVAL. AND DID YOUR PCP PREPARE YOUR TWO REFERRAL LETTERS CORRECTLY. I THINK THIS HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE APPROVAL PROCESS. BECAUSE I WAS TOLD MY LETTERS WAS`NT PREPARED PROPERLY, AND IF NOT CORRECTED BY MY PCP I CAN ALSO BE DENIED. SO I HAVE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DONE PROPERLY BEFORE THEY SUBMIT EVERYTHING TO MEDICAID.

Apparently there was some confusion about my 6 month supervised weight loss program, Phillip said they must not have recieved that portion of my packet in the fax, so he re submitted it and now we are hoping for the best. I hear that there havebeen some budget cuts recently to medicaid so I am nervous now. All of a sudden I have a "50/50 chance" of winning my appeal??? Why is that, if all of my criteria has been met, as Phillip and Dr. Noria have assured me? This is my worst nightmare!

Not really sure why, but Louisiana Healthcare Connections denied me. Dr. Noria submitted all of my info and supposedly everything was in order and I met all criteria. Now her nurse Phillip is telling me I have a 50/50 chance of winning my appeal??? WTF
