Where’s the beef, MD?

Where’s the beef, MD?

Nov 08

Four months ago I told my doctor I would need a letter of medical necessity for the bariatric surgery. that’s FOUR months ago. Then last month I reminded her. Then two calls in to remind her. Today I go in for my LAST appointment to qualify for surgery. (Yes, very excited thank you). No letter. She forgot. Then she told me to go home and write it for her and email it to her and she would have it ready in the morning.

WHAAAAAAAA?

She is a bit older – but she’s kind and listens to me. As an added bonus for some reason, which I find hard to identify, she reminds me of the where’s the beef lady.

So here are some links that might help you if you find yourself scrambling to put together a medical necessity letter.
