Answer to the internal appeal
My employer is unbelievable, after 2 months of waiting I recieve a copy of a certificate of coverage , and a letter on top saying that she recieved my internal appeal and that surgery for obesity surgery is not covered. There was 10 questions that were not answered. I have 2 certificate of coverage 1 sent 5/2001 the other 08/2003 no one is tell me why I have 2 certificate of coverages. I am going to call eeoc tommorrow and file a compaint and dept or labor.
The good news, Sherry, is that your partner's insurance will cover you. That's a BIG plus!!! With so many of us no able to insure our partners, you can see how monumental her employer's concience is!
What a mess with your employer...
Have you checked to be sure that your partner's insurance will cover your WLS? It would be FANTASTIC if you knew that for sure, before even applying!!! Let us know!
