Re: Need Advice: Pre-Approval for Breast Lift

[Guest guest]

I think writing a letter would be a good idea. However, I would also

include anything that causes you pain. For instance, if you constantly

have back pains, include that, include the migraines if it is even

remotely related to your breast. I realize your doctors are going to

include that but it doesn't hurt for the insurance companies to read it a

dozen times. I'm not real sure how to put this politely but it would

also lend some credibility to your point of view.

Also - you must remember this is your RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGEON AND SURGERY not

your cosmetic surgeon/surgery.

You are so right about the wording to the insurance company. NEVER

mention plastic surgery. Always... " reconstructive surgery " and

always " skin removal " ...never any fat! Push medical reasons to the

hilt!! And never give up.
