Letters of Medical Necessity always seem to work. I would get one

from you PCP AND the surgeon you've chosen. Include these with your

appeals. If you don't have a written Exclusion in your policy, and

you include letters of medical necessity, it's been my experience

that this does the trick. Once surgery is considered medically

necessary, it is no longer an " elective " surgery and out-of-network

becomes a possibility.

Letters of medical necessity are very easy to get. Write them

yourself then fax them to your docs and ask them to sign them & fax

them back. When I do this, I usually have them back in one day.

Then you will have your ammunition....

Good luck to you! heidi
