TX too, and mine sailed through as well. Curious whether yours was a PA or just plan coverage, since I've heard those two paths play out pretty differently here.

[US] US coverage check-in for today - by state?
Curious what state you're in since PA sounds smoother than most of what I'm hearing. I'm in NY and my renewal came back without much drama, which I did not expect given all the second-year horror stories
Arkansas here and mine sailed through on the first attempt, no appeal letter or anything. Little Rock, so maybe the plan I'm on just happens to be generous, but I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop at renewal.
cT here, Hartford area, and mine went through without a fight, which surprised me since I'd braced for one. What I'm doing now is saving every approval letter and EOB in one folder so renewal doesn't catch me flat.
CT here too, and my plan approved it without any back and forth. Curious whether yours went through on the first try or took an appeal.
PA here and mine covered it right away, down about 14 lbs so far. The appeal stories in this thread are making me glad I never had to fight that battle, but I'm starting a folder of my paperwork now anyway.
NY here and mine approved it on the first try, which honestly surprised me since I'd braced for a fight. My paperwork folder is a mess of screenshots and emails though, so I'm taking notes from the organized folks in here.
Curious what state you're in? I'm in Texas and mine has been smooth so far, though I've heard from others here that it really comes down to which plan you're on, not the state.
Curious what state you're in since you said plan covered it so far.
Georgia here and mine flipped mid year, approved in January then denied at renewal with no plan change. Did yours stay put the whole time or did you have to re-fight it?
Virginia reply makes me think it really is the plan and not the map. My own approval sailed through here in Colorado, same big carrier as my last job where it was a nightmare
idk, i'm in Texas and mine was easy from the start, but my coworker on a different plan here spent weeks fighting hers. So yeah, I'm with the folks saying it's the plan and not the state.
What I keep running into here in Texas is that the plan sponsor theory holds even inside one company, different locations get different third party admins and the answers change
Do you know yet if your plan sponsor is self-funded or using a standard carrier? That seems to be the fork in the road, and it might tell you what to expect before you have to fight anything.
Georgia here and mine went through on the first try too, though a neighbor on a marketplace plan is still stuck in appeal. Makes me wonder if the employer part is really the whole story or just luck of the draw
Anyone in a state plan rather than employer? Curious if the sponsor theory holds up outside the big employer plans, since that's been the whole pattern here.
