Guest guest Posted March 22, 1999 Report Share Posted March 22, 1999 Hi group, This is for all of you who are trying to get insurance approval - aaauuuugggghhhhhh - it is so frustrating , isn't it? If any of you post ops have suggestions about how to handle the insurance appeals - please let us hear. I am appealing with Kaiser Permentae. I was told by Walter Lindstrom that Kaiser in California gives automatic approval for BMI of 50. MINE IS A 50!! But that doesn't seem to make a difference here. I have vowed that WHEN (not if)I get approval and have my surgery - I am going to join the fight against the unfairness of insurance companies (especially managed care) to those who are too " weak " to fight and just lay down and die quietly. This is ridiculous!! Sorry to rant and rave , but it makes me so angry. If anyone on here could give any advice - we would love to hear. Thanks Kathy BMI 50 Kaiser Permentae appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
