I used Obesity Law and was approved today. My surgeon payed for them, so It cost me nothing. I was denied in Feb.

I also used Obesity Law they were great I finally had my surgery July 23 after 1 year of fighting. I didn't have to pay anything my surgeon office referred me after I was denied by my insurance.

Good Luck and keep fighting!

Yes, my doctor's office called me and asked my permission to submit my case to Obesity Law. I was about to file a complaint with the insurance commissioner of IL when I got the call.

Congratulations Gina!! If I remember correctly you have Bc/Bs illinois too. I will resubmit my paperwork next week myself and if no luck I too will be using ObesityLaw.com. I am soo happy for you. Tamara

Thanks Tamara. You are right, I do have BCBS IL. They just seem to deny most everybody without even reviewing their records. It is crazy that they are allowed to do that. That is why I wanted to report them to the insurance commission of IL. I don't know how much good it would have done, though.

Good Luck and keep me posted on your case.

I contacted ObesityLaw.com this morning. I called bc/bs il and they did get my additional 25 pages of records I sent and once again my case is in review. I just wanted to be prepared in case of another Denial.

Do you know if Obesity Law.com can help in cases where the employer has the WLS exclusion in the policy?

[LISAMARIE1158 0]

Sounds like that might be a bigger problem...Especially if its a large company...l guess its work asking...You can write them an email and see what they think..lf they send you an email in return, its bec they believe they can help.

If you go www.obesityhelp.com and look under FAQ, it address WLS exclusions. Hope this helps.

[Donna113 2]

I self-paid because my employer has a WLS exclusion on our insurance but I see many on here who are very discouraged because they can't afford the surgery and their insurance has a WLS exclusion.

I went to the link and could not find an FAQ and didn't want to sign up as a member. Can you possibly copy and paste the info?

[GinaJ 2]

I am so sorry. I typed the wrong link.

It is: www.obesitylaw.com . This should help.
