Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 Hello Dottie !! Welcome to another Missourian. was a great reference source for me because she had been fighting with Premier since January. Even though I knew what she had experienced, and her comorbidities were more intense than mine, it was still extremely discouraging to be denied that first time. I felt Dr. R's letter to Premier was so profoundly comprehensive that they would agree in a heart beat. They took even less time to deny my first appeal. (They asked me to sign a release for my medical records so they would make and informed decision in the first appeal but never bothered to request the records - I know, I work at the hospital where the records would have been requested.) The Missouri Insurance Commission has been extremely helpful and they have filed a second level grievance/appeal on my behalf. The representative there said " if this doesn't meet medical necessity - I don't know what does. " Haven't talked to in a while but I know the last time we talked on the phone that she was in litigation and Premier didn't even bother to show up in court !! As a mentioned in an earlier post, the insurance part has been the only downside of this whole process for me. When I saw that had lost 100 pounds during her fight with them I knew that I would self-pay and fight later. Everyday I have more energy and determination so they may wish they had the old sluggish me instead of the energetic me. I would have been easier to deal with at that point. Please feel free to use me as a contact and to ask any specific questions regarding Premier that you may have. I can be contacted at work .
