Anyone has experience with HIP Prime HMO? How long does it usually take them to review the paperwork?

Anyone was denied? and if so why?

I know there is a section on the website where you can check out the feedback from others by insurance, however all the feedback is from 2002-2005.

I'm in PA and bought a BC/BS silver plan through the Healthcare.gov site. It's decent coverage and costs about 60% of what I previously paid for one of those junk plans that cover little to nothing. Like you, when I looked at all the plans available I saw that bariatric surgery is not covered by even the platinum plans. However, when I scrolled all the way down, I saw something about the possibility that BC/BS might pay for some aspects of WLS. I had originally  thought I would buy a platinum plan, because when I first got a look at the available plans it looked like WLS would be covered. But now that it seems that not even the most expensive plans from either BC/BS or Aetna will cover WLS, I went with a less expensive plan that would cover my healthcare needs and figured I'd look to pay cash for WLS. I'm in the process of making a final decision about which surgeon I'll be going to in Mexico.  

I've looked into financing and I haven't seen any especially attractive options online. However, many credit cards are offering very low interest rates for balance transfers -- some as low as 0% -- and you get that low rate for 12-15 months. That's long enough for me to be able to pay off my surgery while still covering all my regular expenses. A couple of my cards regularly send me those blank checks that can be used to pay off balances or whatever, and I always used to tear them up and throw them away. Then I decided to use one last year and basically got myself a substantial loan at 0% interest, with 15 months to repay before my regular interest rate goes back into effect. I am going to do the same thing to pay for WLS.  

HTH.

I did not go well.  After that I called the insurance company and they state the doc office is not submitting all information. 

The first response isn't quite correct.  It appears that at least 22 states will have obesity treatments, including bariatric surgery, included in their essential health benefits -- and unfortunately coverage seems to be largely determined by geography.  Sadly, many of the 27 states that have excluded surgery are in the south -- where some of the largest obesity problems exist.  

BTW, although obesity surgery isn't covered in every state in the exchange, Obama care has made it so that ALL policies must cover screening and counseling for obesity and at least one drug for it's treatment with no patient cost-sharing.  So while obamacare isn't perfect, it is better than what a lot of people had before it. Nothing.  

how did the peer to peer go?
