Re: insuarnce Answer to Lara

[Guest guest]

Hi Lara,

I too was guided to Dr. R. when my insurance company denied my claim

for a local doctor to perform a regular gastric bypass. What a

blessing!

All you need to do is complete and submit the information form on Dr.

R. web site. Dr. R. will automatically fax a pre-authorization

insurance letter (or mail if you can't provide a fax number) to your

insurance company. Even if it's out of your network, his letter is

kind of over-all and your insurance would then need or ask for

additional information, depending......

Meanwhile, start doing all of the other 12 steps listed to get the

packet of information ready to send Dr. R. This will take a lot of

time.

You do not need to set up an appointment or see Dr. R until all those

steps are completed.

I have completed all the steps and will see Dr. R. the first time on

May 16 in clinic the day before my surgery, May 17.

Good luck,

Dee

This is for out-of-town patients anyway.
