Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 Debby, Have you read the letter that is posted under the insurance section about the lady that had the same problem. She got alot of info together that you can use and statistics that helped her get the MGB. It is in the section that gives you all the insurance appeal letters. Between her and Dr. R. the appeal was very massive. That is the letter that I will use if my insurance denies to do the MGB. Try to find it. IF you can not, I will try to locate it and send it to you via email. Good luck, > Ok - Round three with the Insurance Company. I am almost ready and think > that I have licked all their latest walls - except one - What if anything can > I do about their statement that " the MGB is not the standard preocedure for > WLS " ? > > I would appreciate any input. > > Thanks > Debby (In Arizona) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Dear : please keep me up to date regarding your struggle with the insurance company. Good luck with your continued struggle. I have not heard from mine at all. When I called them yesterday they said they haven't received anything so I will be faxing and sending Dr. Rutledge's letter via certified mail tomorrow. If you could I would really appreciate a copy of that letter that you are talking about below should I get rejected, I will be prepared. My email address is vivienrn@... I would really appreciate it. Thanks alot, Vivienne RN > > Ok - Round three with the Insurance Company.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Debby, You can site all of the stats regarding the problems the " standard " procedures have which this has much less of. But I'd ask Dr. R for what his response to that very question would be. No doubt he's had to answer that one a zillion times. Good luck. All my fingers and toes are crossed!
