We went back and forth for a bit. She had already told me this last week, but my purpose in the email was to find out how to file an appeal. So here we go again. I basically said:
"I want to appeal even if it is denied because I want to bring awareness. I fought Aetna in 1998 when they didn’t want to cover a reconstructive surgery because it was excluded. I won. I’m not saying I will win this one, but I will shake some shoes just so they can review for future years – especially with Obesity being classified as a disease. Since that became official, then insurance really does not have the right to exclude it – just like any other disease. So, I want to try to make a difference."
I am not sure if she realized that when I get determination, I can rest until someone wins. I may not win, but I will never know if I do not try right?
So my question is to some of you who have been studying the recent obesity news where the AMA officially classified obesity as a disease: How will this affect health Insurance? If Alcoholism is a disease and just about every carrier out there covers it, should obesity be covered? AND, what about with Obama care? How will that impact it. I want to talk smart in my appeals letter so ANYONE who can provide helpful tips please post or email me at ellie.wenker@gmail.com
Thanks so much!!
