    Submitting info to insurance

    baileyj908 replied to baileyj908's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    When I was at the doctors Thursday the nurse said they had everything. The evaluation was done at their office, so there is no reason it shouldn't have been in my file. The case manager said she needed a letter clearing me for the surgery.

    Went to my last weight management class on Thursday. They said they would submit everything hopefully Friday or Tomorrow. Now the waiting game starts.

    This is what my insurance says - "The patient has participated in a non-surgical treatment (e.g., dietitian/nutritionist consultation, low calorie diet, exercise program, and behavior modification) and attempts at weight loss have failed" - this is what has me worried. They changed how it is written it changed at the end of august

    Time off work? One week? More?

    baileyj908 replied to itstimealready's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm also a teacher and am planning on doing during winter vacation also.

    Thanks. I'm just worried that my insurance company will say the surgery isn't necessary because I lost weight (it has been only 14lbs) but still worried.

    I was looking at my benefits handbook from work. It talks about how you need to have a bmi over 40 (or 50 for sleeve). My insurance requires a 6 mnths supervised diet. I lost 10 lbs last month which made me fall below a bmi of 50 (4th month visit). Has anyone been in the situation and been approved or denied for the sleeve? Wondering if they take start weight or weight when paperwork is submitted.

    I really hope they use starting weight and bmi.
