Question:
I'm wondering if I made a mistake and it's going to cost me my approval...

I saw my pcp last week and asked for a referral to my wls surgeon. I gave him "some" documentation I had--like a letter from another doctor, my diet history, etc. He faxed it over to the insurance companys medical director along with his referral. I spent all weekend worrying that I may have screwed up, because I only gave "some" of my documentation, I kept the really important stuff to give to my surgeon this week. What if the medical director denies me a consult based on what he's seen already? I gave some good info, but I've saved the "best" for my surgeon so he could fax it over along with his recommendation. Now I wonder if I'll even be ABLE to see the surgeon. I'm a bundle of nerves. Thoughts?    — Linda J. (posted on September 5, 2000)
