Letter to insurance company



Recommended Posts

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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
