X-post: Obesity Law Anyone???

I'm looking for those of you out there that used Obesity Law or even just a lawyer period to fight an insurance denial. What was your experience like? How fast or slow was the process? What were the costs? Any other helpful details you're willing to share. I have BSBC of IL PPO. And they have denied me because the dr's notes are not detailed enough. Never mind the fact I have enough medical history as proof that I need and would really benefit from surgery. I've been in this process since late December/January. Enough is enough already! Again any input is greatly appreciated.

Go onto the Obesitylaw.com website.  There is an area to fill out a form with your story and send it via the web.  If you don't  hear from either Walter or Kelley  Lindstrom by mid-week, e-mail one of them.  For some reason they didn't receive my form so e-mailing got through to them.  They are very helpful and will answer all your questions.  I haven't used them YET!  I have an exclusion and waiting to see if my employer picks up the rider in December.  If not, I will seriously consider hiring them to fight.  Time will tell.

You've been dealing with this for quite a few months.  Too long if you ask me.  You have alot of patience.  Good luck!

Thank you. I've already contacted them. I'm looking to hear about experiences with them.  Testimonials...if you will.  I want to hear the good and the bad.

I have hired obesity law to file appeals of the exclusion policy of BC/BS of tn. We are about ready to file the first appeal after 6 weeks collecting dr. records etc. so far I have been very pleased. good luck.
