You do not have to live in CA. I live in GA. They represented me as advocates, not attorneys because they are not admitted to the GA bar. But, that is all you need in order to pursue an appeal. Good luck in your journey!

Their paperwork indicated an interest in working with people in different financial situations. I live in GA, and while they could not represent me as attorneys, they could represent me as advocates, which is all i needed. And yes, they can help even if excluded. Good luck!

Hi there! 

    I was wondering if they would help someone out on a individual plan? Do they help people who don't live in California or someone who has insurance but doesn't cover WLS?

Thanks so much!!!

Hi there! 

     I was wondering if you have an individual or group plan?? I am looking for a new insurance and one that would help cover WLS but having a tough time.

Hello there,

    Congratulations! On getting approved and sticking to it. I am also having trouble with my insurance. I heard about Lindstrom's and seen on their website their in california. Do you happen to know if you have to live in California to get their help? 

 

Thanks so much!!!!

Yes, have doctor document the skin issues, and Tricare is known to cover at least a panniculectomy, removal of the skin, they might not cover a full abdominoplasty with muscle tightening, but you have enough need to go for a consult and get the PS opinion on what he can do and what documentation he can submit for coverage.

Topic: RE: getting health insurance 11 years after WLS

I've only heard of people having to wait 5 years to be covered. Even if they tried to say WLS is a pre-existing it should not go back 11 years!
