My Appeal Was Turned Down

Well it is now official. My appeal was turned down and now I am appealling to the New York State Department of Insurance like I had to for the lapband. My insurance doesn't want me to get a revision to RNY. I just have to contact the doctor's office on Monday to find out if I should file a regular external appeal or an expedited one.
Everything is in legal language but I think that the expecited one is if I was going to die in a day or two without the surgery... I'm pretty sure that I need to do the regular external appeal...Lots of paperwork and lots of things to get mailed to our state capitol in Albany. Please wish me luck!

 I cant BELIEVE you have to go thru all this!!! It is SO stupid... What insurance do you have?? I wish I could help you on the whole appeal info but I was lucky enough that I never had to do it,...I will keep positive thoughts!

Thanks so much!

Good luck to you, it's ashame you have to go through all of this. You keep fighting until you reach your goal.

Thanks Tonya, I'm not giving up without a fight!

I have GHI for the doctors and Blue Shield for the hospital. The big problem is that non-emergency surgery for New York City employees must go through the NYC Healthline and they are turning me down.
