I was approved through Aetna USHealth MC POS. They are out of Portland, OR. I am in Dallas. It took 1 month and 2 days and I had to provide diet history. No big deal. Aetna seems to be the best for approval. Go to the key work search on the main page and search on Aetna. I think you will find more info. Good luck and God Bless. Jen

I HAVE PRU HMO WHO WAS BOUGHT OUT BY AETNA US HEALTH CARE AND I JUST GOT APPROVED FOR WLS. THEY TOOK THEIR TIME AND ASKED ONE QUESTION....THEN THEY APPROVED IT. MAKE SURE YOUR DR. WRITES A STRONG REFERRAL LETTER STATING THAT WLS IS MEDICALLY NECESSARY FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR YOU FUTURE

I have Aetena of ohio-(contact # is in colomus)- They approved me no problem. I have heard that michigan is about the same. My surgery is on 2-08-00 at the Bariatric Treatment Center in Addison,MI. They did all the work for me with the insurance company. Yhe insurance company did want to know past diets,especially medicaly supervised. The center contacted my private doctor and got all the info from them. I wish you the best of luck. Keep your hopes up. I know the waiting is hard but think positive and keep us posted.--Tasey
