insurance authorization question

October 15, 2003

Hi everyone,

I have a date of surgery scheduled for 11/12/03. I just had my

psychological exam yesterday and all the information should be going

to my insurance company. Anyone else have Blue Cross Blue Shield? I

have been denied twice by this company, but it was because my

physicians letter (who is a family doctor) was very vague and he did

not include any information on my past dieting/weight loss/gain

history....I went to a Bariatric Clinic in Milwaukee and they seem to

have all their stuff together....so now I just have to wait and see.

Date of Surgery: 11/12/03 (hopefully)

The letter with the information about the past weight gain / loss is VERY

important. They will not accept you with out it. My wife is going for the

surgery on Monday and the dr insisted that she give in a list of weights /

dates or the dr would not hand in the papers to the insurance co.
