The denial letter trick worked for me too, they basically hand you the checklist for the resubmit. Only a pound gone so far on my end but at least the PA fight is behind us.
Prior authorization approved - here's what worked
Congrats on getting it through. I'm down 35 lbs since mine got sorted and the denial letter trick really is the whole playbook, it tells you exactly what boxes to check.
Consistency is paying off for you. Hoping the next week is kinder.
Such an inspiration honestly. Don't give up, it's worth it. You make this look easy, and I know it isn't.
The denial letter approach worked for my office too after two failed attempts, so it's good you spelled out what your doc did. Down about 10 myself since starting, and having the paperwork finally sorted made sticking with it way easier. Threads like this are why I check this section first.
This is useful to have archived here since so many offices fumble the first attempt. I'm down 8 myself and still fighting my approval, so seeing the denial letter angle mentioned twice in this thread gives me something concrete to bring to my next appointment.
Did anyone warn you about the fatigue before you started? How did you handle the first injection nerves?
