Guest guest Posted August 6, 2001 Report Share Posted August 6, 2001 Hello, I am in the process of trying to get approval for the D.S. Surgery with Dr. Kesheshian in Delano, CA. Does any one have Aetna US Healthcare Traditional Coverage(no HMO, PPO, etc)? Were you able to obtain approval for the DS with them? Was it this year? What State? I understand that they may have already approved this procedure for several people this year. The reason I ask, is that I have been denied coverage for the DS procedure, and now my appeal has been denied. I can appeal one more time and so I am going to hire Obesity Law Associates to do the appeal. They need as much " ammo " as they can get there hands on. If you have had this surgery approved this year(Especially if with Dr. Kesheshian) would you mind contacting me and allowing the lawyers to use your name & info to show inconsistant denial policies since they say they DO NOT COVER the DS Surgery under any circumstances. Any one that can help would be greatly appreciated, and hopefully it will be another step in making insurance companies realize this surgery MUST be approved for ALL how need it!
