Question:
Has anyone ever wrote the letter for their Doctor

Just got back from Dr.'s office and doesnt seem to really want to fight for me. (Ins. has exclusion but not tight) has anyone ever wrote letter for Dr. to sign and fax to insurance co.?    — rinkadinktx (posted on September 14, 2007)

In answer to your question, yes, I wrote my letter of medical necessity and took it to my doctor and he signed and dated it. I followed he sample that the surgeon had given and just changed names, symptoms and issues and my doctor signed it. Hope this helps.

The women at my Surgeon's office were not very helpful either. My Ins. denied me the first time and wanted me on a 6mnth regulated diet. So I recorded all I ate for 6mnths and my monthly weight-in. My Dr. office copied all info taken at the visits and then I put it all together in a notebook along with a few photos of myself. I even wrote them a letter explaining why I wanted the surgery, ect. Doesn't hurt to stroke their ego also.... Hope that helps, Good Luck! Just had my surgery Monday.

Deborah, I would love to have a copy of the letter. My insurance has an exclusion for WLS and thought going through insurance was hopeless. Any help is greatly appreciated! Deb
