Hi

Do you know anyone that has tried to get approval with Etna US Heath Care.

Dr. R. Just sent them in and I was wondering what type of chance I had.

Till I hear from them I will get all the other papers to Dr. R. I'm almost

done....

Re: insuarnce Answer to Lara

Hi Lara,

I too was guided to Dr. R. when my insurance company denied my claim

for a local doctor to perform a regular gastric bypass. What a

blessing!

All you need to do is complete and submit the information form on Dr.

R. web site. Dr. R. will automatically fax a pre-authorization

insurance letter (or mail if you can't provide a fax number) to your

insurance company. Even if it's out of your network, his letter is

kind of over-all and your insurance would then need or ask for

additional information, depending......

Meanwhile, start doing all of the other 12 steps listed to get the

packet of information ready to send Dr. R. This will take a lot of

time.

You do not need to set up an appointment or see Dr. R until all those

steps are completed.

I have completed all the steps and will see Dr. R. the first time on

May 16 in clinic the day before my surgery, May 17.

Good luck,

Dee

This is for out-of-town patients anyway.

Art,

My sister and I both have Aetna US Health Care. We were both approved

quickly. She has an HMO plan and got a referral letter from her PCP. I have

a PPO plan and was approved in about 3 days.

Good Luck!

Hi! You mentioned that your mom and sister already had this surgery, could

you tell me a little about them? How how long ago? How much have they lost?

How are they doing now?

Just curious, thanks!
