Starting the appeals process
on 7/14/08 12:21 am - NC
Can anyone help me with an appeal. I have found several examples online but could anyone email me a copy of one that worked for them. I have BCBSNC state health insurance and I was denied for gastric bypass, I need all the help I can get. Please help if you can.

I just posted a Blog on my profile page about what the letter said, you can read it and that will answer your question. Thanks for the reply.
I suggest appealing the reasons why they denied you - I wouldnt necessarily use a 'form' letter. When my insurance denied be for a, b and c, I appealed why a, b, and c wasnt correct and why I did in fact meet the criteria.
