Medical Mutual of Ohio.....HELP!



Recommended Posts

I just heard back that Medical Mutual is requesting proof of additional Weight loss attempts. My PCP ent a letter listing the different drugs that have been precribed over the years...Redux, Xenical, Meridia...I also Included a letter listing every diet plan I have ever been on...probably close to 30 (see my journal). The only supervised weight loss plan I was ever on has been weight watchers, 4 or 5 different times over the past 20 years. I know the approximate dates and I listed them, but I have no other proof because WW says they only keep records for 4 months after you stop going. And I threw away all my old stuff, and I only keep bank records for three years, so I can't eevn find a check or charge for them. I don't know how it is true that WW only keeps records for 4 months, because they send coupons for me to come back all the time! But they lady from the WW headquarters told me that and said that a lot of bariatric pts call requesting the same thing...Anyway...I don't know what the heck kind of proof I can give them???!!! I have about 15 weight loss books that I have bought over the years...Hilton Head Diet, Atkins, South Beach, Dr Phil, Oprah, Susan Powter, and many more. Shall I send them??lol. I might be able to track down a receipt or go and get one from my last hypnosis attempt from last April, but the last time I went to WW was in 2001-2002, and I can't get proof for the life of me. HELP...does anyone have any idea of what I should do? I am waiting to hear from Cleveland Clinic about what their next step is....I really really don't want this to go into the appeals process....I have been waiting long enough!:help:

Did you try asking how far back the bank/credit card company keeps their microfiche records? It may cost you, but it will be worth it. Believe it or not I actually found my receipt from WW at home (2003) and Jenny Craig had my stuff from 2002 & 2005. It may be worth a call....I would think any prescription diet would be supervised, no? CVS had my RX records from 2000...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
