Getting through the dreaded insurance approval

I bought something online that helps get you through the insurance approval and also helps you keep track of who you spoke to and when, etc. If you want a copy sent to your e-mail, post it and I'd be happy to send it to you. I hate for anyone to have to pay $50 for it, when I bought it and can share the information!!!

it helped me out quite a bit. plus I got approved on the first attempt. just wanted to offer support to those who need it. I won't lie, I probably did get jipped out of money, but it sounded good, and it did help.

I was denied by my insurance last month and have been formulating my appeal letter. I'd love to have a copy, if you can send it to me at kimrzidy@gmail.com.

Thanks!

I've been denied by Aetna and would appreciate any help-you can email me @ christine_gicking@glic.com. thanks

contact Walter Lindstrom's advocacy group at OBESITYLAW.COM!!!!

contact Walter Lindstrom's advocacy group at OBESITYLAW.COM!!!!

Is this who you used?

Yes. Insurance denied me, so the ladies at my surgeons office suggested I contact this advocacy group. The lawyer who started it was Walter Lindstrom. The website is obesitylaw.com. They filed my two appeals for me, I was approved on my 2nd appeal. Best part for me is Allergan paid for it (they told me this from the beginning when I signed the papers that I wanted them to represent me)

Yes please email it to me, I need all the help I can get. (bunch.pamela@yahoo.com).

Thanks

Thanks, I went to their website yesterday and submitted my data. How long did it take before they responded to you?

Here's the chain of events:

1.20.11 My surgeons insurance coordinator submitted my paperwork

1.28.11 aetna denied me

2.4.11 insurance coordinator had me sign the authorization forms for Walter Lindstroms group at obesitylaw.com to represent me. She faxed it to them.

2.16.11 per aetna, appeal received

3.10.11 Aetna denied my appeal

3.11.11 I faxed denial letter to Kelley Lindstrom at obesitylaw

3.11.11 2nd appeal is sent

3.30.11 2nd appeal overturned - surgery approved!!! But I didn't find out until 4.8.11

4.9.11 the official letter arrived in mail

5.5.11 6am dr. Michaelson changed my life ;)

I hope this helps you!!!

Thank you for the info - I'll keep you posted on how it helps me smile.gif

I'm glad to hear it all worked out for you. My insurance seems to be helpful so far but my doctors office staff is real slow. I'm hoping everything will work out, but I would like to have this info just in case. ana95355@hotmail.com
