I HAVE BCBS OF IL HMO MED GROUP IS RUSH PRESBYTERIAN I WAS TOLD BY MY SURGEON'S NURSE THAT I WILL NEED TO SUBMIT PROOF OF ANY MEDICALLY SUPERVISED DIETS. I.E. MEDICAL RECORDS...WELL I THOUGHT NO PROBLEM UNTIL I FOUND OUT LATER TODAY THAT THE 2 PLACES WHERE I HAD BEEN ENROLLED FOR A YR OR MORE IN A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM HAVE BOTH CLOSED...SO IM UNABLE TO RETREIVE ANY RECORDS...AND I CALLED THE NURSE TO TELL HER THIS AND SHE WASN'T ALL THAT SUPPORTIVE TELLING ME I HAD TO HAVE IT BUT IF I COULDN'T GET IT WE'D HAVE TO MAKE DO....DO I SMELL "denial" IM TRYING NOT TO THINK LIKE THAT I DECIDED SINCE I WROTE A LETTER LISTING THE DETAIL HISTORY OF MY DIET HISTORY AND A APPEAL FOR APPROVAL,I'D HAVE THE SURGEON WRITE A LETTER ON MY BEHALF AND WILL ASK MY NEW PCP TO WRITE A LETTER ON MY BEHALF,(I WILL BRING A BAG FULL OF EMPTY BOTTLES PAPER WORK FROM ONE OF THE DOCTOR'S WHOSE OFFICE IS NOW CLOSED,PROVING I WAS ENROLLED IN HIS PROGRAM,SO SHE CAN SEE THAT I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT DIETS. AND WRITE A HONEST LETTER.I WILL ALSO BE REQUESTING THE MEDICAL RECORDS FROM MY OLD DOCTOR,EVEN THOUGH I NEVER DID ANY DIETS WITH THEM IT SHOWS THE PROBLEMS I HAD WITH MY WEIGHT. SO WHAT DO U THINK?
