Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I just got word today, that I was denied by my insurance. They said it was because it is not a covered expense on my policy. My surgeons office said that seems to be normal with most insurance that's why we have to have letters of medical necessity. I had three letters and my last 5 years of medical records. I'm so disappointed, however I had expected this with UNICRAP. Does anyone on this group have Unicare and if so how were you approved? And yes, I am appealing.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 wlslori, what is the NIH consensus paper. I read my policy and it does state that it's an exclusion. This is exactly per word what it says.:::::::::::::::: Services primarily for weight reduction or treatment of obesity including morbid obesity, or any care which involves weight reduction as a main method for treatment.
