Letter of Medical Necessity



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a template I could use regarding a letter of medical necessity that my doctor has to send to my insurance? What has everyone's experiences been in dealing with your insurance and these types of letters?

Thanks for all the help!!

If you e-mail your address, I can send you a copy of the letter that I used for both the band doctor and insurance. I will say that it will take a while to get all your medical information into on letter. I happen to have files at a lot of differant doctors and I even had to go to a couple of offices and look it up and write the letter for the doctor to just type and send.

Curious about this letter. Prior to 2 weeks ago, I hadn't been to a Dr. in like 4 years. So the PCP I went to had never met me prior to seeing me 2 weeks ago. How would they write the letter, since they really do not know much about me besides what I told her. I mean I told her how long I'd been overweight and stuff.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
