Appeal!! they are going to do a peer review?? Does this work

I have BCBS of Minnesota.  My doctor submitted for approval then I was denied.  I wrote an appeal letter with doctor visit notes and dates and copies of what they had written all were noting the soars and rashes.  That appeal was returned denied also and with this appeal they sent me information to do an out of office appeal to the state.  I have everything addressed in my letter as what they require to have the surgery but was denied.  I have now called and asked for a peer to peer review with my doctor and they are lining it up.  Is this a good sign, has anyone gone through a peer to peer review??  Should I still be hopeful?

Be hopeful! I had a peer review for my gastric Bypass and they approved it in 15 minutes.

Thanks,  I don't think they can reject all the proceedures that I am requesting.

What all are you requesting coverage for?

Arms, Panny, Inner thigh, and upper chest. 

I would think the peer to peer gives you a higher chance of getting it approved.  I wish you luck!!   Do you have a back up plan?    Hey fellow ds'r ... you should join our male plastics group here.  Info in my siggy.

Thanks, I will check it out.  I plan on apealing for ever, but maybe I will have my doctor just ask for the panny and upper chest if I keep getting denied.  I have doctor visits and prescriptions for everything that they require prior to surgery so my doctor and I don't understand what I am missing.  So I am quite confident that I will get something done.

Best of luck to you!
