PCP Letter of Necessity

[ElleG 394]

I'm scared. I just got the letter from the doc. In the office the letter sounds great. Well I just re-read it 50 times and now it doesn't seem strong enough. I'm so nervous and have not even submitted to the insurance co yet. I'm waiting for the bariatric docs office opinion. With each case we should get a box of clairol, I swear I'm gonna have a head full of grey hair.

Do u guys think this letter is a deal breaker?????

My surgeons office did all the letter getting and approving for me. Do they usually have people do this themselves?

Surely it's fine. We read these things as if we are fighting for us (since we ARE). Tge drs office just puts what's necessary for the insurance companies to approve. The insurance company is just looking for the words, not the best, most convincing speech. Good luck!!

My surgeon office sent me with the letter to have my pcp copy but he has to full in the blanks such as my name his name and the reasons like high blood pressure, anxiety and depression, pcos and asthma. I can actually post the letter my surgeon gave me for my doc to copy if you want but i'm sure everything will be fine for you doctors usually know what they are doing.

Thanks guys! I am just worried about going back and asking the doc to modify the letter. The more I read it I think I sound too healthy. Just word smithing. My doc did give me a template for us to follow. This is the last thing I need and it's stressing me out.

I'm not willing to take a chance and risk a denial...
