Question:
Does anyone have a sample letter to their insurance Co.that they can share with me?

HELP!...my insurance company needs more medical documentation of previous weight-loss attempts...the only problem is that my old health records were lost when my health clinic closed.I am in the process of writing a personal letter and need sample letters. Can anyone direct me to a good site for sample letters or actually share theirs with me? Thanks in advance!    — Fabiola M. (posted on July 4, 2000)

TRY http://www.clos.net/insurlet.htm, They have all kinds of sample letters for WLS there. Ray always post this web-address. If that does not work try Mini-Gastric Bypass. Good Luck !

Fabiola, Hi! I have Cigna HMO and was denied on my first attempt. I then resubmitted everything again but with an appeal letter. My letter was given to the review board on Friday afternoon and by Monday at 9:00am they called my with an approval. The power of a good appeal letter is great. I would be glad to share my letter with you if you want it. Just e-mail me and I will be glad to send to you. My address is [email protected]

My suggestion is to go to the professionals on this! (Not at all meaning to diminish the importance that we weight loss surgery patients bring to the table either.) But, if you'll check this web address, you'll get the best suggestions I've ever seen on Maximizing your chances to get approval. http://www.obesitylaw.com/maximize.htm

I just finished writing mine last week. I have been told that it is very well formated, and contains a great deal of clinical information. I would be happy to e-mail you a copy if you would like. Send me an e-mail at [email protected]. Becki
