I sent all my info to Kim about a month ago. Is there a way to double check that I'm all ok?

Topic: Last Chance NY OH Conference Fashion Show
Ladies & Gentlemen,

Last chance to join in the OH Fashion Show at the NY Conference October 22nd! 

Anyone interested in participating in the fashion show for the Long Island, NY OH conference on October 22, 2011 please contact me to provide information and photos at [email protected].

The OH Fashion Shows are open to anyone who wants to participate. After having surgery and working so hard to stay on track, you deserve to show off a bit!  We ask that you send high resolution "before" photos and a brief blurb stating your surgeon's name, surgery type, starting weight and current weight (your choice). OH will put them all together to be shown on a large screen while you strut your stuff on the catwalk to music! This starts at 8pm on Saturday evening and we ask that you provide the outfit that you would like to be photographed in! To keep with our schedule, you may be asked to join the other models by 7:45pm that evening to coordinate the lineup.

Upon submitting your photo, you are giving ObesityHelp your permission to use your likeness on our website or in our magazine.

Any other questions? Just ask!!!

Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!
Thats good to hear but please be aware that Medicare does not give preapproval so I'm not sure what is meant by "approved". It may mean that the program has approved you. I am concerned that medicare could deny payment after the procedure if the surgeon and hospital are COE's.

My recommendation is to air this specific question with your surgeons office and find out what their policy is if there is a medicare denial after the fact.

I hope I'm not getting you too anxious in what is probably an already stressful (but hopefully exciting) time-- but I see these situations occur.

Best of luck to you!
