writing a letter to my insurance company..advice?
What insurance do you have? I have BCBS and didn't need to write a letter but did make sure that we had letters from my WLS, my regular doctor and my physical therapist. I had a portion of the surgery initially denied and all it took was a voicemail from me to have them reverse. I would spend time making sure that you have written support from your medical providers over your own letter.
Just my two cents...

I ended up faxing in a hand written personal letter after they requested more info on my skin issues. I tried to stay as professional as possible but outlined every issue I was having so that they understood that this procedure would really be a medical benefit not just a vanity thing. I'm not sure what to tell you about the panni vs. the abdominoplasty deal... it's all in the medical codeing. To my knowledge my insurance approved a hernia repair and Panni, but I got a full LBL and TT.
