I called the Patient Advocate this morning and Michelle returned my call this afternoon. After I read the disapproval letter to her, she told me that I needed to call the Fee Basis number that was listed on the letter and ask them what other information do I need to submit in order to prove my case. Otherwise, I should prepare a statement as to what happened and also mention the fact that I spoke to my PCP and he wrote a note in the computer. I should also mention that I am in the Independent Living Program through Chapter 31 and that the doctors basically told me that I had a Panic attack. I called the Fee Basis and had to leave a message and they said my call would be returned in the order in which it was received. So, I guess I'll just get my stuff together, and send in an appeal.
So, can someone tell me what is the point of calling a patient advocate?
