I am so glad that I saw this because I just called them and the lady I spoke with with wonderful. My husband of course was concerned because they are in California and if they were the real deal or not. Thank you so much for posting. I am hoping for an approval of my revision soon. Aetna is making me crazy!!! lol

I just wanted to verify that Lindstrom is one of the best practices to hire if you are having any issues with insurance. When i was about to give up i decided to hire them and i am so glad i did. It took a year for me to get approved for my revision but i am so glad i had them by my side fighting for me. They are very good about getting back to you in a timely manner and keeping up updated on everything that is going on. I dont know how many times i bugged them with questions but no matter what i always got a response. For sure worth it if you are thinking about it!!

Each insurance company is allowed to set their own requirements, based on the state laws for each state in which they issue insurance policies. Michigan allows that a 12-month requirement for doctor-supervised diet is reasonable. Sorry, there is not much you can do about it.
