Question:
Help! Approved by insurance but hospital wants PCP letter!

My daughter was approved by her insurance in record time--less than an hour. She didn't need a recommendation from a PCP BUT the hospital wants one. She will be the first patient to have WLS in this hospital so I think they are being extra cautious. The problem is she doesn't have a PCP--she's only 22 years old. Does anyone know of a WLS friendly PCP in Connecticut? You help is really appreciated. Thank you    — Laura R. (posted on April 24, 2002)

You should try contacting your surgeon. The office staff maybe able to give you the names of several doctors that have refered before. You can also call the insurance company and ask them if they have any suggestions.
