Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Dear Tania, My insurance would not approve me either after weeks and months of appeals and arguing and letters from Dr R and proof upon proof that it was medically necessary, actually an emergency. Anyway we went ahead and were self pay and now are sueing the insurance company which is down right fun!!! So far things are going very well. I will post of the MGB list as soon as it is final. Best of luck to you. in Mo. MGB 1 10 2000 at 242 lbs. presently I am 150 lbs. and feeling wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Hi Tania , Try having everything sent to your referring PCP and then show him/her the letter from Dr R,fom the website.(The one from DrR stating what he needs from your PCP).Then you only have to get one person to understand.Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Hi Tania, What you need to do to get your test results is go to the office of the doctor who ordered them and sign a medical release form then you can get copies of your medical records and your test results either sent to you, or you can pick them up when they are ready. Some doctors charge for this some don't. I am glad you found this site it is very helpful in learning what you need to do to accomplish this. Wecome to the group.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 I ran in to the same problem and was told as long as Dr R will tell them you can have the results and to send them to you....they will, You may have to sign a medical release form. Good Luck!!! , Ms 5'3 " 240 Lbs BMI 41.6 Hi My name is Tania and I am currently working on my packet. It is driving me nuts because I keep calling for some of the results and they won't send them to me, they said they will send to the doc who ordered it and to Dr. Rutledge but not to me. I keep telling them that Dr. RUtledge wants me to send it with a packet and they don't listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
