Guest guest Posted May 24, 2000 Report Share Posted May 24, 2000 I have an appeal hearing on Thursday 6/1. Healthsource originally advised me that if I lost this one I would be able to appeal again. I called today to find out more about additional appeals and was advised that because mine was not a clinical but administrative appeal the 6/1 appeal would be my last. Then they told me I could go through the NC insurance commission, but they haven't overturned any of their inquiries either. I called Walter Lindstroms office at the Obesity Advocacy Law Office he agreed to represent me at Thursdays hearing. I asked them when is the best time to bring them into the loop. They told me as soon as you get the first denial, they will assist you all the way to conclusion, if you hire them. Has anyone used them or know of someone who did? I hate to get my hopes up but I think Walter can make the grievance committee hear something new. I have been working on this since 2/19 and now next Thursday seems far away. Pray for a positive outcome, I am hoping to set a date. , Denver, NC Very hopeful Pre-OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2000 Report Share Posted May 25, 2000 --- , I have heard many that have used his services and one that was not paying for it and was not happy so she admittedly started her on group. Helponinsurance throught the obesity.net site. TONS of help there. I have heard some wonderful things about him. He originally had the same challange himself. Also DR R advised to do everything you can do FREE before you pay. THere is ALOT you can do on your own. GOOD luck,,,,never back down. Take it to the top. then MiniGastricBypass (AT) e, srozycki@s... wrote: > I have an appeal hearing on Thursday 6/1.
