Medical Mutual of Ohio.....HELP!

I just heard back that Medical Mutual is requesting proof of additional Weight loss attempts. My PCP ent a letter listing the different drugs that have been precribed over the years...Redux, Xenical, Meridia...I also Included a letter listing every diet plan I have ever been on...probably close to 30 (see my journal). The only supervised weight loss plan I was ever on has been weight watchers, 4 or 5 different times over the past 20 years. I know the approximate dates and I listed them, but I have no other proof because WW says they only keep records for 4 months after you stop going. And I threw away all my old stuff, and I only keep bank records for three years, so I can't eevn find a check or charge for them. I don't know how it is true that WW only keeps records for 4 months, because they send coupons for me to come back all the time! But they lady from the WW headquarters told me that and said that a lot of bariatric pts call requesting the same thing...Anyway...I don't know what the heck kind of proof I can give them???!!! I have about 15 weight loss books that I have bought over the years...Hilton Head Diet, Atkins, South Beach, Dr Phil, Oprah, Susan Powter, and many more. Shall I send them??lol. I might be able to track down a receipt or go and get one from my last hypnosis attempt from last April, but the last time I went to WW was in 2001-2002, and I can't get proof for the life of me. HELP...does anyone have any idea of what I should do? I am waiting to hear from Cleveland Clinic about what their next step is....I really really don't want this to go into the appeals process....I have been waiting long enough!:help:

Did you try asking how far back the bank/credit card company keeps their microfiche records? It may cost you, but it will be worth it. Believe it or not I actually found my receipt from WW at home (2003) and Jenny Craig had my stuff from 2002 & 2005. It may be worth a call....I would think any prescription diet would be supervised, no? CVS had my RX records from 2000...

I am going through the same stuff right now. I haven't sent anything but I have medical mutual super plus and i've been on bunches of diets however WW was the only one i have records on.

I have Med Mut Plus also, I don't have any proof of any diets in the past at all. Am I in trouble? What ever happened with this??
