I have my consultation for lap band August 2 and I have BCB of GA. they will pay 90% of procedure with medical necessity. I do not have years of documentation to prove that obesity is affecting my health. I do have horrible foot pain, back pain, high cholesterol, and i guess the worst is the depression i feel like i am in a trap fat because i eat and eat because im fat i know it sounds crazy. what kind of documentation was required by ins. for approval ? is it based on info specifically from bariatric surgeon ?
thanks a million !
