If Obesity Law picks up your case, what are the odds of getting your denial appealed?  I have United Healthcare. Thanks, Melissa

The odds with any firm, or even individually depend on the amount of documentation you can provide, diet history is a big thing, and what the exact reason for the denial was.

We've hammered out confidential settlement agreements and even got self funded walmart in florida to cover the surgery, but we lawyers dont count those as always a guarantee, either way you have to fight, always, and hard.

Hello, I tried to get advice from Obesity Law in CA but was not successful.  They were quick to respond to my inquiry by asking for more information.  I provided the information by e-mailing on three separate occasions, no response at all from them.  Was truly disappointed! I live in CT and have Anthem.  They cover the surgery buy my employer did not pick up the rider.  I just wanted to know if I had a shot at getting the surgery covered anyway.  I have a BMI of 41 and diabetic, have sleep apnea and suffer from depression.  I'm working really hard to get my employer to pick up the rider in December.  Unfortunately, it doesn't sound promising. Thanks, Lifedancer in CT
