In the issue of People Magazine, new on the stands, with the teen Hollywood stars (and their money) on the cover, there is a very interesting article about insurance coverage. It doesn't pertain to wls, but it does address non-existent benefits where there should be coverage, and tips on how to fight denial of coverage.

I did have it, but I don't any longer. The essence of the article is that the insurance companies will frequently deny a claim or request for approval for a procedure, even if it IS within the policy based on phrasing, semantics, etc. We just shouldn't take that laying down, and fight for what we know we should have approved. The article had nothing to do with GP or wls, but just a general article about people who were denied major coverage, and who ultimately got what they should have had in the first place.
