dr note to ins



Recommended Posts

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

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...
