Becki/Aetna denial/kinda long

[Guest guest]

Becki,

The first thing I would do is get all letters I can from All of my

doctors ( specialists, pcp, foot, Gyn etc). Then I would get letters from

friends, family, pastors, employers, supervisors.

Get information from the different sites about the D/S history and

studies done, ie. the Hess report.

Send to the ins co PCP office visits record, and any specialist office

visit records.

You send them a LONG letter describing how this surgery is the only

type suited for you and tell they why. Use your life style, include your

family life, children's life and how you relate to them ( if you have any).

Then go to the things that you used to do and are not able to do now.

Use ALL things no matter if you think other people do, because if other

people normally do it and you can't, it proves that you are in need of the

surgery.

If you havn't done your diet history do it here. Explain how the diets

that you have tried and has failed for you would relate to the D/S surgery

and how it would work for the weight loss that you need right now. All

along tell them why the d/s would relate to the specific activity.

By this time they probably should approve just to get you from

sending more papers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Send the package to someone specific at the Ins co and send it

registered so they have to sign for it when they get it.

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes. This will take a little time

but it should be worth it.
