Help

Help! I was denied for the RNY surgery because I did not have One-year doctor supervised diet under my planner. I have been on Weigh****chers for a year, and many others. The only problem is I did not keep documentation of my diets. Please, any advice would help!!!

Honey, join my club! I feel your pain because I was swimming in it a couple of weeks ago. I kept records of my diets; pills, exercise, plans, ect... but my PCP didnt. A whole year of monthly visits wasted because my Physician (Med-Surg Group - Oak Hill ) was too busy ( or lazy ) to document. Of course, they werent too busy to collect my insurance money. But thats besides the point now, right? I have Accordia Insurance but it sounds like your insurance company has similar restrictions. By any chance, did your PCP document anything regarding weigh****chers? Did your insurance company see your medical records or were they going by your personal planner? If they didnt see your med records, maybe something is in there that wasnt pointed out? I needed 12 consecutive months but only had 5. I have 7 more months to go. All I can suggest is that you do like Im doing.. keep waiting. I went to a new PCP and specifically told them what I wanted documented. Im one month down and I go back on bi weekly visits for weigh in's. By December I should be ready to try again. Hopefully I will have it all in place by then. I know you are discouraged but try to be strong. When the time is right, it will happen. Im in this with you, believe it or not. Good luck and keep your chin up. Jen
