I am sooo mad right now

Everyone here is so helpful. Post what insurance you have and see what feed back you get. Never know someone may have gone thu the same thing before.

Thank you  I will do that .

I work for an insurance company, one of the big ones and gastric bypass might be a cover benefit but this is where they get you it has to be medically necessary. And the Insurance company determines medically necessity.  We have to deny claims  for the treatment of obesity, insurance companies wont cover that diagnosis I get tons of claims where the surgery was approved but because how they bill we have to deny. So call your doctor office again and asked them get they submit the medically necessary forms. Good Luck......I believe the reps are correct its how your doctor submitted the forms.

Thank you for that wonderful information . I am going to have my doctors office resubmitt showing that it is medically neccessary.

Sorry to hear this Skinty
You are in my prayers
that everything will
work out!

Thanks girl I know that it will. I put everything into God's hands yesterday. I can't do this by myself.
 

Find out if your insurance is self funded. This will be important if you have to fight and go through the appeals process. You might also find out how your state handles insurance appeals. A question on your state board could be helpful. Good luck
