Ok I've asked this question vaguely before. It refers to "water pills". I know Lasix is a automatic no -no and is associated with ChF. Many people take Hctz for fluid buildup but have no chf. Its also used for high blood pressure. When you put Hctz on the app used for "Fluid retention" but no Chf are any of these co's giving you trouble? How about on Pos interviews when they clarify what Hctz is used for and the client says water retention? I know many on here said they've had no problems but are you putting"fluid retention" on the app?

What carrier is giving you a hard time...I've always put it is for fluid retention/hypertension on every app...and I've never had a problem.
As far as Lasix, that's usually not a problem either as long as it's under 40mg...just for fluid retention...these old people get "water" on their legs...just ask Wino
No company is giving me trouble...especially Trans(your go-to)...SNL is fine as well...Americo is fine...all the POS companies seem to be good with it.

WebMD Is Your Friend.
And you are incorrect in your lasix presumption; many patients are prescribed lasix to treat non-CHF related blood pressure and water-retention issues.
My mother has taken lasix on and off as needed as her feet swell painfully as she works her night-shift RN floor work.
More on the causes for fluid retention and how it may not be caused by congestive heart failure here.

Ok you're putting hypertension in there. I'm also putting hypertension/high cholesterol. But some of these people are telling me the retention is not due to the blood pressure. Columbian and Assurity have screwed with me before.What i'm asking is if I put "water retention" with no High blood what would happen?
----------
Is it the same with Triamterene? I have a 75 yr old lady who wants $50-$100k i'm going to stack that takes that for swelling in the feet and no chf?
