Gary Visco

HI,       I just received my letter for being denied on external review for gastric by pass surgery.  I was denied due to they feel my 6 month supervised diet was not to there satisfaction they say I have not completed it although my dr, has wrote countless letters.   Can I do the 6 month diet again and reapply and how long do I have to wait to reapply ?  If I can not reapply for the roux en y should I be able to apply for the lapband?   ThANK YOU

I'm so glad you posted this question. I have the exact same question. I also did 6 months with my PCP and the insurance company said I did not complete the process correctly. Let me know what you find out.  Good luck to you/ JEN

I'm not Gary but thought I would offer some advise. Find out EXACTLY what kind of documentation your insurance company is wanting. Ask them to send it to you in writing. Follow it to their satisfaction for 6 months, do everything they ask of you. I would recommend getting Gary involved at this point (early in the game) he has been known to get the 6 month diet turned around. He's an awesome guy! Good luck, Gina

I couln't agree more, contact Gary V. and get him on your side.  He was able to help me turnaround cigna's decision in just two short weeks.
