Lawyer recommendations/ warnings ??

Anyone have anything really good or bad to say about the lawyer helping with your appeal ?? If you don't want to answer on list you can email me - thanks (I am thinking of appealing by lap band denial - policy excludes all treatment for obesity except for bypass)

CIGNA was completely unphased by an appeal document sent by Payam Shayani. I used some of his material in an appeal that I wrote to BCBS some months later, however, and it WORKED.

I hired Gary Viscio and Associates to file an appeal with BCBS of IL, which from reading the board, you know is a !@#$% insurance company notorious for jerking people around. Gary got the denial reversed quickly and for a modest fee. I am very thankful to him and his associates for helping me improve my quality of life and would definatly reccomend him.

You have the same evil insurance company that I have and Gary helped get me get approved also GARY IS THE MAN!! Donna 338/190 -148

After my initial appeal was denied, I hired Gary Viscio based on recommendations from others on this site who used him and were pleased with the outcome. I would prefer to respond off list. If you'd like to email me, feel free to do so. kixco @ pobox . com (remove spaces) Kix

I too used Gary Viscio for an appeal. I prefer to give my feedback via e-mail. If you would like info please e-mail me through this site. Heather

Hi do you mind if I also ask you about your experience with hiring Gary V? Reason I ask is I am seriously considering to do the same. I am also considering just going out of the country and just self-pay for it as I am tired of putting a lot of energy into the negative side of this surgery and just have it done and move forward to a healthier me. Thanks Patt H
