Question about Patient Letter

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone! It's me again. I have read several posts where patients have been

denied by Dr. R. because their patient letter did not cover one full page per

section. Now, this may sound like a dumb question, BUT, I do not want to be

denied! Therefore, is there a certain size font we need to use and is it to be

single spaced or doublespaced? I am a little confused on this. Maybe I'm just

nervous and making it more difficult than it really is! Thanks for any advice!!

Sherry,

I E-Mailed Dr. R about that and I have not heard anything yet. I am

confused also. There are no formating instructions in the manual as far

as I can see... Just the number of pages and the topics he wants us to

cover. Maybe he will reply on the e-group and clear up the confusion,

like he did for the vitamins. The sample letter was not 10 pages and did

not have a page on every topic.

He wants appx a full page on each subject. Normal 10-11 size font, do not use

extra wide margins. Just start writing and it will flow.

Best of luck,

Sherry,

This is not a dumb question! I have been thinking about the same things. I

am soooo worried that I will be denied. I think when you want something so

baaaaddddd, it makes you worry about all of the details. Thanks for asking

such a great question. I can't wait to hear the answer.

You are not making it more difficult, Sherry. It is kinda difficult. Dr. R.

wants to make sure you know what you are getting into, and this is the way he

does just that.

My font was 14 and I double spaced, but this was in Oct. he may have changed

that. Some one who just sent in their letter needs to answer that one. Good

luck, Trudy
