How Can I Fight Denial Bc Too Low Bmi?



Recommended Posts

Just curious if anyone has gotten this type of denial overturned. What did you do? My ins states I need 35 bmi + 2 comorbities for last 5 yrs. 3 or 4 out of the five I'm over 35 and more like 38-41 (current 40.6). My ins. States the next step is having my dr. Do a peer review by having a call w/the medical director that denied it.....any ideas?

There isn't a whole lot you can personally do in this situation. If your coverage states those are the rules, then that is the game you have to play. Hopefully your doctor can state your case well enough to push ahead.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
