[Results] 17 weeks, 36kg, and denial was the hard part

Question

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking appeal against ApoB for 17 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Denied for prior auth, resubmitted with prior authorization documentation, approved on appeal. The criteria exist, you just have to meet them.

Which state? Coverage varies.

Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

Did you get step therapy or outright denial?

prior auth criteria are state-specific, step therapy differs

resubmission after denial requires new documentation

step therapy documentation is the weapon, use it

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

Which plan type? prior authorization is different.

About c/insurancefights

The paperwork war. Prior-authorisation criteria, denial reason codes, step-therapy documentation, external review, employer carve-outs, and the appeal letter templates the community has iterated on for three years. Mostly US-shaped but the tactics generalise.

c/insurancefights rules
  1. Say which country and which plan type. "Insurance" means eleven different things.
  2. Redact member ids and group numbers from every screenshot.
  3. Do not suggest misrepresenting a diagnosis. That is fraud and it gets you banned.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
