Dear [Policymaker’s Name],

I am writing to you as a concerned [patient/advocate] for those suffering from endometriosis. Currently, the lack of a specific insurance code for endometriosis excision surgery creates significant financial barriers for patients seeking effective treatment.

Endometriosis is a debilitating condition that affects millions, often leading to chronic pain and infertility. Despite its prevalence, patients must often pay out of pocket for excision surgery, the gold standard of treatment, due to the lack of appropriate insurance coverage. This financial strain results in delayed diagnoses and inadequate treatment, exacerbating the suffering of countless individuals.

As a [patient/advocate], I have witnessed firsthand [or "I know many who have experienced"] the devastating impact of this issue. [Include a brief personal story or anecdote, if applicable, to personalize the letter.]

I urge you to support the establishment of a specific insurance code for endometriosis excision surgery. This change is crucial to ensuring that patients receive timely and effective treatment without the added burden of prohibitive costs. By addressing this gap in coverage, we can improve the quality of life for many and reduce the long-term healthcare costs associated with untreated endometriosis.

Thank you for considering this urgent matter. I look forward to your support in advocating for better healthcare policies for endometriosis patients.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
