    ANTHEM BCBS OF OHIO

    Does anyone have Anthem BCBS of Ohio? I have this insurance and I've heard conflicting answers on whether or not they require 6 months of medically supervised weight loss. I have called my insurance company 4 times and gotten different answers. The first time I was told there was no such requirement, that everything was done "on the honor system" (doubtful) and then the second time I was told there was a 6 month requirement. The 3rd call the representative didn't know and the fourth time I got an answer similar to the first time I called. I'm inclined to think that I don't have the 6 month requirement. However, I talked to a nurse at the weight loss center I'm going through and she said that Anthem BCBS is one of the trickier insurance companies and she's some people get denied (and then have to appeal) due to not having the 6 months of documentation, even though the insurance company didn't list this requirement in the benefit. Any input would be very much appreciated. I'm too frustrated to be at the very beginning of this process. Thanks!

    ANTHEM BCBS OF OHIO

    So if you don't mind me asking...did your surgeon or nutritionist put you on a diet and if so for how long? I don't mind waiting but if I don't have to I don't see the point of wasting the time or the money on copays for unnecessary office visits. Thanks again!

    If I may ask how did you find out exactly what Anthem BCBS would accept for poof of previous attempts to lose weight. I have them as well and have been getting the run around when it comes to finding out exactly how long they want me to wait and what kind of documentation they need. Thanks in advance!
