Sample letter from PCP and/or surgeon for WLS?
Hi everyone, i just posted a thesis in the last thread, lol, about my recent denial for surgeon consult and I was just wondering if anyone had a sample letter to show me of what a PCP or surgeon might write to the insurance to help gain approval?
I ask only because my PCP is the laziest and clearly doesn't like to do anything extra for this patients so I would like to show him a sample of what he could write for me. Also, I have never met with a surgeon because my insurance denied my request for a consultation/referral...so how could I get one from a surgeon?
Can I pay for my own consultation with the surgeon and do you think they would give me one?
I'm lost here...can somebody please help. Thank you!!!!
They're going to want a PCP letter, very detailed, I saw Ms. X for X years and her treatments have been X, her diagnosis is X and she has "tried and failed multiple supervised low calorie diets:" thats the key words.
And they[re going to have to attach their chart notes as well.
