I had my Pyscho evaluation today,I was in there a whole 15 minutes.It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.I got asked...What day,month and year is it? Who is the President,and who was president before that..any family abuse,and some other questions which were real easy to answer.I did get asked on my knowledge about the surgery,and as I have been coming to this site for a few weeks,I have been reading up on everything I can..I had read about peeps being at there evaluations for 3 and 4 hours...and being given tons of questions to fill out when you get there..I had filled out a relatively short questonaire that they sent me in the mail...and I had to take it with me to my appointment..this is the last piece of info my insurance requires for my internal appeal...hopefully,I will hear from them soon,as I got through the evaluation just fine!

Got a letter today,insurance has rquested my medical records from my PCP,they are doing an internal appeal.They denied me the first time...I dont have to do anything now exept wait.Just wished they had requested my records before they gave me the first denial...

It's Monday the 30th,I'm almost positive my appeal letter reached my insurance office today.I'm just wondering did they look at it, or is it still sitting in "The to be read file" I can't stand the suspence lol... GRRRRR

Hi Sue. I just want to wish you luck with your insurance company. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have just written a 2 page letter appealing my denial.It took me two days to put this together,as I wanted to make sure I put everything in detail.I think it's a good letter.I hope they do to!My Doctor is also going to call the insurance office,and help me try and get this surgery.Without it, I feel I will end up in a wheelchair very soon. Keep your finges crossed for me~~ Sue

4 days ago I recieved a letter from Univera requesting additional imformation..They wanted me to get a Psycho evaluation,whichI made my appointment for January 10th.Also they wanted more info on my list of diets.They gave me 45 days to respond back.Today 12/18/02 they sent me a refusal notice.Whats wrong with that??? I have an appointment with my primary Doctor next week,my husband is also going in with me.For them to say it's not medically necessary,is a bunch of crock!! I have Diabetes,high blood pressure,sever arthritis of my knees.I had arthroscopic surgery on each knee,plus 2 surgically broken legs,in order to buy me time before I have knee implants (they say Im to young yet for the new knees,Im 54) Last week my knees were xrayed again,only to find Im now bone on bone again!!! Back to where I was 6 years ago! I cannot stand in line,or even shop,unless I take my electric scooter.Yesterday I was on the couch most of the day,due to one knee being very very painful.What a nerve these people have saying the surgery isn't medically necessary.They should spend just one day in my hurting body.Anyways,I havent given up just yet,I still kept my psycho appointment.I'm hoping my Doc, who I've had for 18 years,will call the office..and try and pull some strings for me.It aint over till it's over!!!
