even if one insurance company approved it, they are not going to. Pay for it now,if your employer switched companies,because no premiums for you are being paid to the old compNy. Why would they pay for something when they don't have to. Approving it was just paperwork; unless you are an actual customer at the time of the surgery,they aren't going to pay it.
i think all you can do is submit to the new company and see what happens. Do you know for sure that your employer bought the rider for Wls with the new company?
Hello, I started this journey back in January. I have gone thru all the requirements for the insurance provider. it was submitted by the Dr. and denied, resubmitted and approved.. YaY. but our insurance provider changed on Nov.1st . Waited a while and received a letter of approval from the first insurance provider and called the surgeon, told the lady and she said she would have to resubmit everything to the new insurance provider. Does anyone know what I need to do. I thought since the original provider approved it , then they would pay for it. has anyone else had a insurance provider change right in the middle of the process.
Thanks, Bill
I am looking to have a revision done and have found a surgeon that I would like to work with. I have just found out that my insurance won't cover anything that comes over with a code related to obesity or bariatrics. Any suggestions on coming up with the money for this procedure? Has anyone had any success finding financing for this procedure?

I feel like I am losing my mind trying to find an insurance plan to switch through for WLS in Minnesota. I was on Tricare Prime because my husband was an active duty marine. He was medically separated, and now we have lost our coverage through Tricare. Please help I have been looking up plan after plan and have no been able to find one that covers bariatric surgery. I am already in the process of WLS my surgeon has already taken me on and I have qualified, I am hoping I didn't do all of this work for no reason.ReplyQuoteMember Serviceson 10/30/14 8:44 am - Irvine, CA
