Letter to insurance company

As part of my approval process I have to account for my weight history for five yrs and two of these yrs I was unemployed and uninsured. This leaves me in having to write a letter to my insurance company explaining the lapse of medical documentation which I wasn't insured.

Has anyone prepared or have a letter to share as an example in formatting this scenario? You're help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey I had to do this with my emloyer first before I had to do it with the insurance. I just documented the times I was on weight watchers, when I tried the atkins diet, south beach diet, diet pills, exercise and nutritionist. I was pretty thorough telling how much weight I lost and how long I stayed on the diets and then how my weight raised again. Hope this helps.

My doc did my account of diet history for me, even though it was the first time seeing him. He just wrote down all the past diets I had been on and stated that they didn't work. I would just write down all of the diets you have tried and the periods of time you tried them. They just want to see that you have tried and failed at other ones....which obviously we all have...lol good luck!
