Wow...that is extremely stringent and not the norm. Most commercial payers follow Medicare guidelines. If you're only six pounds away or need a single comorbid you should be able to get qualified either way. Best if luck to you and keep us posted. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app
I think it's 60%, on average, of the excess weight you have beyond what a normal weight is for you. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app
