wellcare insurance

has anyone had this insurance and got approved well I have been denied on Aug. 12, 2009 and wait on a appeal to be submitted.

how long before they submit the appeal and how long will it be to get an answer?

Hello. First welcome to our group. Glad to have you here.
I am not aware of anyone with that insurance, but I am sure others will be along as they wake up today, maybe one of them has it.
I do know that with many insurances it isn't unusual to get denied the first time. Many just hope you'll accept the no and it'll save them the money, so do not give up. Fight em on it with all you got.

So Sorry they are making you go the hard route. I will keep you in me heart and prayers for a win on the appeal. I hope it isn't too far off.

 I have no expeience with your insurance.  But you have grit. And fight with all you've got to get what you want.  We all had various hoops to jump through to meet insurance requirements.  The squeeky wheel usually gets answered first.  Call the people helping with your appeal, call insurance.  Consider writing a letter to insurance stating your case.

Welcome to bariatric buddies, please share a little about yourself so we may get to know you better.  I am Kathy, I had lap RNY on 9/2.  So glad that the surgery is over, still recovering and getting back into life.

Hugs, Kathy
