San Diego Kaiser
I'm not sure who you can contact, but in case you don't already know, you can always file a grievance against Kaiser's Option program. They'll deny your grievance & you'll have to file with the DMHC, but most likely they'll rule in your favor & you won't be required to attend the classes. The whole process can take anywhere from 2-3 months. PM me if you would like more details on how to do this. HTH!
Won against big bad (SoCal) Kaiser for a Duodenal Switch Haven't heard of DS? Kaiser wants it that way. Come on over & read the truth.
Hit goal (Normal BMI) on 2-10-11! I LOVE my DS!!
My approval process timeline:
02/12/09 - Dr. refused to refer me for WLS
03/03/09 - Vented/whined about it on another board, planned to just wait until next year & switch plans
Let's see what happens!
