PS Update - Insurance

Ok guys - I need some good thoughts and prayers to go out on my behalf. My PS is submitting my paperwork to Aetna today to request approval for the abdominoplasy part of my lower body lift scheduled for January 24th. He says that Aetna is better about paying than either BC/BS or Cigna, but that you never know and that it usually takes 2-3 weeks before we'll hear anything back. Of course, if they deny me, that doesn't give me much time to appeal without having to change my PS date currently scheduled. I was able to include a letter from my PCP stating medically necessity along with four months of documentation of rashes and stuff so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Get some prayers and good luck wishes up there in the universe for me everybody. Thanks. Lap RNY 6/16/03 -- 336/156

Have my fingers and toes crossed for you! If Aetna approves you then maybe, some day they will approve me! Please let us know their decision. love, linda
