Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Hey everyone, Just wanted to let you know I just faxed my appeal to my insurance co. Got a call earlier from my PCP's office saying his letter was ready and they faxed it over. It was everything I needed him to say in terms of recommending me for the BPD/DS and stating why this cannot be done in-plan. (Dr Pomp is out-of-network, but no one IN- network offers the switch). Imagine that! After giving me such a hard time about this surgery and why couldn't I try just ONE more diet -- he goes and agrees with me! I have not even seen him since that initial appointment! I wonder what changed his mind? Either he actually did some research and now realizes this is my last, best option. Or, he knows I am headstrong and won't back down off this and is just doing it to get me off his back! Know what? At this point, I don't even CARE why!! He said what I needed him to say and my appeal has been submitted! NOW my nerves are beginning to go crazy... I mean, I pretty much *knew* I would get a denial right out of the gate. But if this appeal gets turned down I will be stuck with waiting until next year, switching insurances and starting this whole process all over again. I REALLY, really, really, really hope it goes through. Pray for me!?!
