Denied in oregon/Insurance

[pat7go 0]

Hi, I live in the Portland, Oregon region. I was just declined by my insurance company, and have already sent a letter of appeal. My primary care physician refuses to write me a letter of appeal, saying she doesn't know enough about the surgery. My back doctor and my gynecologist both wrote letters. How bad does it look on the appeal if my doctor won't write the letter?

Anybody in the west Portland area have a primary doctor that supported them in their Quest for a lap-band? I will be switching doctors!

Just very bummed while waiting for the appeal decision...

My primary doctor did write me a letter i did no good but the doctor for lap-band did and I got approved. Some insurance don't cover. My insurance didn't but my husbands did. Don't give up.
