denial due to non compliance
I had the lap band placed in May 2006, everything went well and I lost about 90 lbs. I started to have pain at my port site and noticed I no longer had restriction so I went it have it checked out. After the EGD it was discovered I have erosion. All pre op requirements done according to fepblue, but denied due to non compliance. So after 2 submissions to the insurance company now my surgeon has a peer to peer scheduled for tomorrow 1/2/14. Praying everything goes well.
Anyone have this type of experience?
I don't get this! Erosion is not something we cause! It happens! We can't prevent it and we don't make it happen. I am not American and don't know your systems but can they refuse to treat something which is potentially life threatening?
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
At this point it is crazy, the peer to peer review was a disaster there were references made to Obamacare not sure what that has to do with it when I pay premiums to the same company for 16 years that just increased this year. I then get the denial letter yesterday that simply states the psych eval does not include post operative exercise and nutrition. So my insurance rep I work with at the doctor's should be able to resolve this for me hopefully.
