Question:
CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH AN APPEAL PROCESS?

I WENT TO MY PCP, I AM 18 MONTHS POST OP AND HAVE STOPPED LOSING WEIGHT AND AM IN NEED OF AN ABDOMINOLASTY, I WENT TO A REFERRED PLASTIC SURGEON WHO ALSO SENT IN DOCUMENTATION FOR A NEEDED ABDOMINOPLASTY AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY BLUE SHIELD OF CALIFORNIA HMO, HAS DENIED ME THE SURGERY SAYING IT ISNT MEDICALLY NECESSARY. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS AGAIN. I HAVE VISITED THE LIBRARY AND SEARCHED OLD Q&A POSTINGS WITH NO LUCK. [email protected]    — LISA K. (posted on June 26, 2002)
