Post-op insurance issues even after pre-authorization?

#1 Post by tdc10 »

Hello - I was hoping to ask for further information from anyone who's had issues with having their insurance company cover the costs of their procedures, even after said procedures were officially pre-authorized prior to the surgery. I'll be having a Lefort I, BSSO, and SG done, with all three pre-approved by my insurer, and my surgeon and hospital facilities/staff will all be in-network. The hospital staff and I were pleasantly surprised that the insurer approved the SG, since that is typically not the case in the staff's experience, and I'm wondering if there's a chance I'll run into issues with my insurer after the surgery for some/all of the procedures, despite the pre-auth. Looking at some of the older posts here, it seems that many of you have encountered issues with your insurers post-surgery. Would appreciate any information from those of you with experience with this particular scenario, thank you.
