Any Tips for Appeal

[livvsmum 2,368]

I put in approval for both panni+abdominoplasty and a brachioplasty at the same time. The TT was approved and done, but the Brachioplasty was denied. They did the peer to peer review and I don't think anything came of it. I think at this point I have to write an appeal letter. Do you all have any recommendations or tips for getting appeals approved?

write an appeal letter.

you got all your paperwork from dr/surgeon commenting on the reasons you should be approved???

maybe ask surgeon to write more good stuff about your situation

submit your appeal

I don't think think the above are frequently approved

but - it's POSSIBLE i'm wrong

won't be the first time or last time

never give up easily

whether its plastics, or regular life stuff

try, try again

congrats on being approved for tummy tuck

you probably look as good as you feel

good luck

I went to our support group last month, where a plastic surgeon was the guest speaker. He basically told us the only plastics that could get approved (by insurance) was the panni. But don't be discouraged, if you self-pay, the rates come way down, usually. And some places offer payment plans. So look into it, it can't hurt to ask! Good luck to you!

Continue trying appeal at least twice
