Appeal letter

Not quite there yet but just in case, if you get denied does the surgeons office take care of the appeal ??

No, your physician's office is not allowed to appeal the insurance company's decision, that's on you. I've heard, though, that the surgeon can ask for a peer to peer review of your case if they feel you need the surgery. Good luck!

In my case the multiple appeals were done by my surgeons office. I tried calling them myself and they would not give me any info saying that only my surgeons office could receive info. I guess it depends on your insurance and state.

Don't give up and Good Luck!

I guess I shouldn't have said no so definitively. My insurance coordinator said they could absolutely not participate in the appeal process, but that they could provide me with copies of everything so that I could.
