Not Approved

Hey guys, I am so depressed i just got a call this morning saying that i did not have enough to prove my case for the surgery. i feel like crying! i might have to redo 6 more months of supervised diet, and i am really pressing for time! my insurance will only cover until i am 23yrs old.

Oh Honey I am so sorry, don't give up! (((((((HUGS)))))))))

BIG HUGS TO ((((YOU)))) Hang in ther and do not give up!!!! get your ducks in a row and try again!!! hugs, Britt

Jasmine I am SOOO terribly sorry to hear that they didn't approve you!!! Listen DON'T GIVE UP!!!! Be persistent talk to the surgeons office and your primary care. I will keep my fingers crossed for you babe! *Hugs* Nicole

Three words , appeal, appeal, appeal. I was denied and had to appeal twice before i had to call to see if my doctor said medically necessary why wouldn't they cover. Next day, covered. I don't know if this will be your case but you are given the option of appealing and sometimes if they see how hard you are willing to go after them they will give in. Anyway it is worth a try and can't hurt. Lauri

Big (((HUGS))) I am so sorry love...APPEAL!!!

Do not give up!!! See if your doc's office will assist in an appeal. Fight this. You have loads of support here!!!

Aw Jasmine! {{{hugs from me to you}}} I'm desperately afraid that I'll have the same problem. Which insurance company do you have? I've already decided that if I'm denied (and am still employed once the depression really hits) I'll change insurance companies if I have to. I worked for Empire BCBS for a year and I know its frustrating fighting to get things approved and precertified and all that jazz. But you deserve this, don't take no for an answer. If they say no, ask again. You know that phrase, "the squeeky wheel, gets the oil"? Its true! Sometimes we'd rather just give up and let depression take over. But don't do it chicky. Fight 'em and you'll be so glad that you did.

The insurance that I have is Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield POS

Hi Honey, I am really sorry you were not approved. Just keep in mind you are working with great people at MT. Sinai and just keep praying. What type of insurance do you have. Dr. Kini's staff will help you appeal it stay positive and you will see everything will work out if you need to talk you know where to find me. xoxoxoxo Liiana
