Question:
Has anyone switched insurance companies?

I recently was denied by Healthnet of Arizona after my appeal letter and I spoke to many people that say it is impossible to get insurance from this company and I have decided to go with Pacificare. I would like to know if anybody has changed their companies in mid process and the experience they had.    — Keith H. (posted on December 5, 2002)

I have! I started with BC/BS, jumped throught thier hoops and got a consult with thier doc scheduled - 6 months down the road. By the time my appointment finally rolled around, I was working another job with another insurance company. Called them up and asked if they would cover this appointment. They said they had thier own surgeon that I would have to see. 7 months later I finally got to see my future surgeon. It's a long road but well worth the fight! Open RNY 8-20-02, down 70 lbs! Good luck!

Read my profile. I purposely changed insurance, specifically to Pacificare because they are so easy to get approval. I will tell you this they do require a psych eval, so call their mental health line to get a psychiatrist in their network but overall it is REALLY painless. You will do great I was approved in 1 month, no questions asked. No fuss, no muss. GO FOR IT!! Good Luck!! I'm down 40pds in my first 2 weeks!!!
