Guest guest Posted December 8, 2000 Report Share Posted December 8, 2000 Sherry, Congratulations!! This is great news!! Good luck with your MGB. How long did it take for Aetna to approve you? I am switching to them effective Jan 1st. I already have approval from Dr R, but have to wait until after the 1st to submit my letter to Aetna. I hope it did not take to long!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2000 Report Share Posted December 8, 2000 , I have Aetna and it took three weeks for them to give me what they call a predetermination. The surgery is an approved surgery under my companies plan. You can fax your letter to them, but do follow up either that day or the next to make sure that it went to the right place. Use the terminology " predetermination " . And do get a name to put it to a specific person's attention. I spent my first three weeks wondering to find out they never got it. It went to the wrong area. The day I called to see what the status was, a lady gave me her name to fax it to and she let me know that got it and then three weeks almost to the day, I got approval. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 Sherry congrats on your insurance approval. I also have Aetna and have called every week to see if I have been approved. After 2 months I am FINALLY APPROVED ALSO!!! I am not seeing Dr R. though. I am having the Lap RNY here in Virginia. Now to find out from this Doc when I can schedule my surgery. We bought a new camcorder and when I saw myself I just hated it. I always try to stay behind the camera whenever possible. Well this time I was not and boy it was horrible!! Maybe next christmas I won't mind being in front of a camera. Love and hugs to all of you out there, and best wishes.
