What's your experience with them? They are saying I need preauthorization first before I can start seeing my nutritionist. The doctor said they don't submit anything into the insurance until I'm almost done my nutrition classes? Kinda confused!

Does anyone know a surgeon in MD that will really work with you through the insurance process?

If your BMI is 40 do you not need the last 5 years of weight records? Is it only when your under 40 that you need that?

Should I go onto my husbands insurance kaiser or stay with United Healthcare? Which is less strict? What is kaisers guidelines?

I have United Healthcare and I went for my first consult today, I have to go to some nutrition classes and get some testing done. Since I'm 37 with no medical issues don't have to get to a BMI of 40 to get the surgery? I hate to gain anymore weight!

Now what about past weight records? I haven't been morbidly obese for that long?

My BMI is 37.59 I have United Healthcare with no medical issues, I'm very borderline! -
I'm hoping I'm covered I'm at a BMI of like 38 so it's really borderline! I have no medical conditions either, but my doctor doesn't submit anything until about a month before I'm ready for surgery and completed the nutrition classes!

Hi all! My name is Toni! I'm just starting my lap band journey! I went to the doctor today, and I now have to attend nutritional classes an have some testing done! My insurance company said they cover the surgery I just need to take 2 nutritional classes a week for 3 months! The schedule my doctor gave me is only one class per months? So I'm waiting to hear back in what to do!
