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.

      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.
