Fuming at Insurance

 Well the peer to peer was denied. Now on to the appeal. My primary care physician is writing a detailed letter as to why I should have this done. My primary is just as frustrated as we are!  If this is denied.....I will gain 27 pounds!  There is no stipulation on how long you have to have a 40 bmi. So all it has to be is documented. I really dont want to do that so wish me luck with the appeal!!

 My peer to peer was denied, but I was approved with the first round of written appeals.  Good luck to you!!!

 Thank you! My bmi was 37.4 instead of 40 and they said my comorbidities are controlled. Hopefully with what my primary writes I will be approved!!

 I know how frustrating this must be.  You would think that the insurance company would encourage you to be earthy and get off the medications ...just goes to show that their first oncern is almost always their bottom line and nt our health.  Good luck with the appeal!

 Thanks!!
