pittman and assoc.

Anyone can share info. on their procedures.

I don't know anything about your insurance company, but here's some stuff I found about it from some of the OH profiles (Both these folks used Dr. King in Oxford): Insurer Info: Pittman and Associates I found that when I got the name and extension number of the person that had my file things went much more smoothly. I could ask for the individual who had all my paper work and then discuss any pre-cert issues specific to me. I could then fax or direct any needed information to that same individual. Also I was able to call occasionally to see how the process was going (don't think I was a pest, but it's the sqeaky wheel that gets the oil) Persistence and follow through by the patient is definetly a key. Besides the medical necessity, Pittman requires that there is documented evidence FROM: http://obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/profile.php?N=H1092607291 Insurer Info: pittman and associates, PPO THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS GREAT, IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG .....EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER, IT WAS JUST I'M VERY IMPATIENT...I'M VERY PLEASED WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, I WOULD RECOMMEND PITTMANS TO ANYONE, THEY CARE. FROM: http://obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/profile.php?N=e1050691950 These used Dr. Woodman in Memphis: Pittman & Associates, PPO Pittman & Associates was great to deal with. I called every few days and spoke to Andrea or Eula. They approved my surgery in 1 week after receiving everything from Dr Woodman's office. There is a long list of things you will need to complete though, in order to get it approved. Once you have those, it's no problem at all.

I called everyday for a week after my surgeon's office submitte the information. They were always pleasant and helpful.

I had my surgery one year ago today and Pittman and Assoc. paid for my surgery. It was quite a long process but well worth it. My phone number is in the phone book in Starkville and I would be glad to tell you all about it. We also have a support group that meets the second Tuesday of each month at Willowbrook - Baptist Mem. Hospital, Columbus @ 6:30 PM on the third floor. We have another person in support group seeking ins. approval with the same company. We would love for you to come to the meetings. Best Wishes.
