Before I get started here, I want to publicly thank @DianaCox and @Larra for all of the time (even at 6am!) they've so generously given me over the past few months in trying to get my insurance denial overturned. I am not sure how we got so lucky to get both of them here, but I am grateful beyond words. I love the bluntness, the extensive knowledge/experience, and the words of encouragement. I can tell you that when I got the letter on Friday that I was finally going to be approved, the reviewer used many of the exact phrases and arguments that Diana and Larra wrote for me. It is without doubt in my mind, that these 2 are a HUGE reason I am finally going to get my surgery paid for (the one I already had in January.) Neither of them would accept my offer to financially thank them, so once I get my insurance money, I will make a $300 donation to this site in their honor. What an amazing gift this site and these women are to all of us!
In an effort to pay it forward, I am going to attach the exact appeal letter that Diana, Larra, and I wrote for this final external review. I will attach it as a Word document so that you may download it, customize to your situation, and use it.
If you are in this fight, don't give up! I almost did. The insurance companies will wear you down. But I'm glad I kept going.
