Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy closed down?
anxiouslywaitingforsurgery posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I recently hired Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy after reading reviews about them. I just called to get an update and their phones are out of order. Has anyone heard anything about them recently? They were suppose to file my appeal for me. -

Yes, I also emailed them and hadn't heard back. The last email was over a week ago when they told me they would email me when the received my info from the doctor which should have been at the end of last week at the latest. When I called to check in the phone number said it was no longer in service. That's why I was concerned. I finally emailed the generic email address and did receive an auto reply saying they had a family emergency and would be out of town. Walter did send me another message saying that yes, they were Still in business but at the hospital with a relative. -
BCBS Denied hypertension controlled by meds
anxiouslywaitingforsurgery posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
I have a bmi of 35 and was recently diagnosed with hypertension. I am now on medication. I have a family history of obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure,cancer. I completed all of my requirements and my surgeon sent in my info. BCBS denied me because they said my hypertension is controlled by medicine. My surgeon is going to schedule a peer to peer. I was wondering if anyone has a similar profile and were eventually approved. It is so disappointing. -
Peer to Peer denied, has anyone recently used Lindstrom Advocacy?
anxiouslywaitingforsurgery posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found out my peer to peer appeal was denied. I have a BMI of 35 with hypertension the insurance company says is controlled by medication. I know I am a borderline case but I was wondering if anyone has used Lindstrom Obesity Avocado recently. I saw some older reviews that said they were great but nothing recent. Thanks for your help. I love the forums and how helpful people are. -

It is so frustrating that the insurance companies can't accurately answer questions. -
