Guest guest Posted March 27, 1999 Report Share Posted March 27, 1999 Thanks for the letter. I believe that some people are not as open about their insurance battles as others so it is hard for me to gather any information about getting a Kaiser Permente approval even though I know it has been done. I was at the meeting today, I think there were about 5 postops. There were alot of preops there also though. I loved the session, it was wonderful!!! Kaiser is giving me fits now, I just checked my mail and found a letter from Kaiser that I was told I would recieve 2 days ago with the " supportive " appeal that my doctor had written me and instead it was a copy of the one written by an " unsupportive " doctor and she told me that they had " lost " the other referral request by the supportive doctor - yea , right!!!!!!!! After I get my approval (which I plan on doing!!!), and get my surgery - I am going on a campaign to fight the discrimination that insurance companies show. NOT to obese people but to quiet, shy people. The only way to get deserved medical treatment is to be forceful and knowledgeable, all the the others are just left to suffer quietly -----THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!! Sorry to go on and on , if I don't vent here, I am afraid of what kind of letter or phone call I'll make to my doctor. Everyone says be nice and courteous, but that is soooooooooooooooo hard when you are dealing with a bunch of lying cheats!!! Thanks for letting me vent Kathy STewart Kaiser Permente appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 1999 Report Share Posted March 28, 1999 I'm sorry to jump in here, but I had to respond to what you wrote Kathy. I sooooooooooo agree with you. And I promise to do the same. Once I get my approval from BCBS of MD, and get my surgery, I will also help fight the discrimination insurance companies show. I think I'm one of those " shy " people you referred to, but I'm definitely infuriated. This is so unfair! Thanks for detailing what you're going through!! It's a big help to those of us reading the mail and struggling with the same plight. Herbert wrote: > From: thestewarts@... (Herbert ) > > Thanks for the letter.
