I was wanting to know where you are in your case right now. I've been hit w/ something last minute also. My insurer from my job isn't paying for my surgery. Which is no problem, another insurance company is. All of a sudden I'm hearing they wont even give me disability either. And even though my gastric by-pass includes a gastrostomy and a vagotomy they still will not pay for it. EVEN THOUGH THOSE 2 THINGS ARE A COVERED BENEFIT! The chief administrator from ITPE claims that since it HAS SOMETHING TO DO W/ GASTIC BY-PASS SURGERY, they won't cover it. I CAN'T BE OFF FROM WORK W/OUT DISABILITY. I DON'T WANT TO RESCHEDULE MY SURGERY. IT TOOK 6 MONTHS TO GET THIS FAR! Can you help me?
Do you have any ideas?
Have you appealed your insurance yet?
Please get back w/ me. I'd love to hear from you.
