Question:
Is there anybody out there willing to write me a letter stating your approved!

I go for a member satisfaction hearing this month. I was wondering if there is anybody out there with pacificare that got an easy approval without going through a six month program. I have to see a dietitian, a nurse practioner and a therapist once a week for the next six months before they will even think about approving me. e-mail me @ [email protected] PLEASE!!    — Angie H.

I would take the NIH guidelines and then make copies from everyone on this site (you can get it from researching insurers) who has had the operation with pacific care. I would also copy all the 6mos-years out post ops that write down their successes. If they still want to make you jump through those hoops, knowing your health information, co-morbidities and health history, and knowing that you've tried all that before and that they DO approve this surgery and that here are all these sucess stories (I know, run-on sentence), then ask them WHY? Good luck.
