Looks like I am not having it done-
Just had a call from Scripps to schedule the Watchman device.
They submitted for prior authorization to Aetna. Aetna responded with no prior authorization needed. Procedure will be evaluated at time of claim for medical necessity.
Scripps says don't worry it will most likely be covered.
After 3 hours on the phone, Aetna emailed thier policy to me. It states Aetna considers all left atrial appendage closures and devices experimental.
Got to love our medical system.
