Angry This Is A Bunch Of Poo!

ok, IF this is not BS i don't know what is Stupped Insurace company.

You will consider Aproving coverage for this surgery If I qualify.

But I have to pay for the Physcologist and the newtrishionist

What kind of **** is that.ok so let me understand this. you want me to be prepared for this and you want me to document my life and prove to you that i have tryed everything in the book and you will not cover some of the procedures

Hello nutrision is the most important thing in this tool eating the proper food im just gessing here but im thinking isurace you should pay for this. Im also thinking my mental state should be sond but don't be silly insurace why should you you pay that ?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Honey they get to keep there money just a tad longer to make intrest. That is what I think. Yes I think they should have to pay for both myself if they require it to begin with. Be like NIKE and JUST DO IT ! Meaning your not going to give up on yourself just because they think you might. I wonder how many people stop right here because of that?

I have to ask a question Amy....is that chickens trying to cross the road? LOL

Pretty good price mine cost me $270. I had to pay it up front and then claim it on my insurance. I don't know if I will get any of it back. The only thing I have going for me on getting it back is the fact that she diagnosed me as "mildly depressed."

(((HUG)))
that really sucks.
I know with my surgeon he offered the nutritionist with his services
so it was all included with his fees and didnt cost me extra.
BUT i had to look hard for a pscy that was gonna be covered but at the last minitue i did when the one i was going to due the evaluation cancelled last mintue for me and pissed me off cause i rearranged my work to go....

hang in there its frustrating i know but we do what we gotta do !!!!

My psych was covered but my ins co wouldn't pay for the nutritionist until they decided to approve my surgery. They kept saying they didn't know if they'd cover it or not until my approval came through. I thought the same thing. I couldn't exactly have WLS without the nut. consult. Oh well... I told them to bill me for the nut. and eventually the insurance paid once my approval came through. At least I assume they did because I've never seen a bill. Hope it all works out for you.

Hugs,
Chrissy

Its another ploy from the insurance companys. There are people who get to this point and have to stop because they cannot afford to do that out of pocket. Sad........ Sad.....

Amy,

Wow on the chicken lessons. I have noticed when I watch Dog Bounty Hunter........... ( yes I watch that show).......there are chickens around alot but never paid that much attention until you just said that.

My insurance covered nothing so I didn't have to see a nutritionast or psych. because it's a requirement of the insurance companys. There are all types of ways to the situation.
Hey...I thought your chicken picture was a play on why did the chicken cross the road...lol.
