Denial - Appeal - Lindstrom
So, I know that I keep posting about this but I'm desperate to find someone who has used Lindstrom. I was denied by insurance company with a peer to peer. My doctor only does peer to peers, and not appeals. So now I am stuck doing it. I contacted Kelley Friday and spoke with her. She made me incredibly hopeful. The basis for my denial was there was no mechanical failure of the band. Kelley suggested I see a Gastroenterologist. I made the appointment as soon as she suggested it. Went today for a consultation and barium swallow. My barium swallow showed reflux, which I knew I had. However it showed that the bad was positioned correctly. Has anyone else been in this situation.

I used them and they were great. They told me it was a long shot cause there was an wpexclusion on my policy,but I chose to have them try anyway,
they will do a free phone consult and let you know what they think. I would use them again.
I would simply go with another insurance company if things aren't working out. Sometimes it's just not worth the hassle. You might want to check with amax insurance and see what they are covering in those cases--I've heard some decent things about their customer support and coverage options. It could be a better fit depending on your needs, especially if your current provider keeps giving you the runaround.
