Insurance denied, How did you fight it?

I just found out my insurance denied my Pannulectomy and inner thigh lift. I cannot live looking like this, it is not just vanity reasons, if I do not keep area under my panni dry and powdered, I get horrible yeast infections in the area.

So were you able to get approved after 1st denial? If it matters, I have Tufts insurance. I had tooth and nail for my RNY, and will fight for this. I am just so upset right now.

Any suggestions?

What was the reason given for the denial... ?

Dawn,
I would ask your insurance company for a copy of their MEDICAL POLICY concerning that particular surgery. Most of the time there is very specific criteria that must be met and if you follow that to a tee it makes it difficult for them to deny. Begin documenting rashes and other skin issues by taking date stamped digital pics. If they require you seek medical treatment for the rashes, then go see your primary care and keep that documentation.
Find out as much as you can surrounding the denial and start from there.
Best of luck!!!

yes, what is the reason for the denial?  You should be getting a letter of denial which will explain and also info on how to appeal.  Don't give up!!
