Question:
Has anyone won against a denial from Lifewise with the written exclusion?

I really want to have the procedure done, but Lifewise will not even pay for me to see a regular doctor about being put on a regular diet. I am prepared to receive a denial letter, but what is the use if they have never changed their mind and accepted any operation? If anyone has received an approval, or is currently fighting them, PLEASE let me know. I am only thinking about starting this paperwork from H*%@.    — Lisa T. (posted on May 19, 2003)

Hi Lisa....I wish I had better news for you, but I too had Lifewise Insurance.....and was denied. I contacted Walter Lindstrom....he told me that their exclusion was rock solid and had NEVER been beat. I spent almost a year fighting with them, and no luck at all. I then moved to Nevada hoping to get new insurance that will pay....my rotten luck gave me an excellent job with good insurance (and a big exclusion) LOL.....needless to say I am self pay. I hope that there is a way for you to fight them and win....but beware!!!!!!!! They LIE too!!!!!!!!! Good luck and post your progress....I am interested in how it turns out for you!!!!! Jennifer
