Give me a REASON for abdominoplasty!!

[Guest guest]

Dan,

I got all my surgeries (check out my signature) covered by insurance....I was

initially denied but won approval on 1st appeal . I wrote an 8 page letter

(describing my particular problems and using guidelines from the ASPS

position papers on why its reconstructive not cosmetic), had 7 doctor's notes

(WLS surgeon, PCP, 2 different dermatologists, gyn doc, plastic surgeon,

ortho doc) all documented medical necessity due to rashes or chronic back

probs (I have a herniated disc). I also submitted nasty rash pics, receipts

from prescription meds (rash creams, celebrex, pain meds)...I just bombarded

them with info, they just couldn't deny me !!! oh and I was a royal PITA

calling them every week until they relented !!

Keep at them...don't let the bastards win !!!

Good Luck !!!
