xelapaul 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Does anyone have any good suggestions reguarding what PCP should write in his letter to the ins company to "honey" them up:) ?? He has a very bussy practice so it needs to be short and to the point. Also, if anyone has written something from themselves and sent it to ins I would greatly appreciate getting some ideas thanks all in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewSho 20 Posted May 25, 2006 Hello! I always suggest that you give your PCP a brief outline listing relevant information that may or may not be in your medical file or chat. Basically you want to include Some details on your medical conditions that relate to obesity (diabetes, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, etc etc), something about previous diet attempts that you've tried mention of how long you've been fighting your weight. any known family history of obesity and related diseases (diabetes, hypertension, etc) the overall (medical) effect that obesity has on your health For sample letters I suggest you go to Obesity Help's PCP Letters page - insurance message board. Another good resource to list general information that should be included with the letter is here. Good luck to you on your Insurance process - it's hard work, but worth it in the end. Happy Band (And Life) Journeys To All... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
