Insurance exclusion

I have been denied. Appeals denied. I cannot find a doctor or a lawyer who will bull-doggedly fight this discriminatory "exclusion" in my insurance company. Does anybody have ANY ideas? I would like to use Dr. Ronnie Keith, but I know my current financial situation would never allow a "self pay." It seems an awful catch 22, I can't get the surgery which would help me to lose weight and make more money -- sooo... sighhhh. Thanks in advance, ~K

Call the Bariatric Institute of Oklahoma - this is a non profit organization. They may have some ideas that you could use. (web site - www.rox-n-y.com). I was at a seminar today and a gentleman was there from this orginzation. He mentioned that people do fund raising events to help pay for their surgery and if the "donations" are made for you through this organization, then it can be tax deductable for the donators as a charitable contribution. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
