I won my brachioplasty appeal!!!!
I had to do a third appeal to my employer but finally....My BRACHIOPLASTY has been APPROVED!!! The benefits administrator called me just a few minutes ago and said their Dr. G agreed with my doctors and that my brachioplasty is medically neccesary. He said that my arms had nothing to do with my bariactric surgery and the onset was during childhood. He also said my case should have never had to go this far. I said...thank you for someone FINALLY realizing all this!!! She then asked me if I was going to a Center of Excellence. I told her that I had had 2 consults and there was a doctor in PA that had more experience and worked with LE specialist. She said our benefits covered travel and she wanted me to go there!!! I am waiting to hear from the person who is to coordinate everything. MERRY CHRISTMAS to ME!!!!
I have Lipedema and Lymphedema. I also have a passion for Obesity and Health Insurance Advocacy.
