Guest guest Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 Good advice Regina! When I was lining up my " ducks " to get my distal revised (stoma from stomach to intestine stretched) I had to appeal my insurance company's first decision of denial. I wrote a letter that was requested of my primary care physician, had him read it, and he signed it on the spot. Paid me a glowing compliment on my letter writing skills (which I felt great about!) and I put it in the packet with the rest of the appeal documents. Not only did he appreciate the time it saved him, but he got another look at much I had looked into the whole process. I am glad I took the bull by the horns, or I could still be waiting! Sue D in Anchorage, AK Distal RNY, open, 10/7/93, Dr's Oh & Fox in Tacoma, WA from 301 to 149 Revision of stomach-Fobi Pouch 8/9/02, Dr. Marema in Ft. Lauderdale, FL from 258 to 186 and counting!
