Right above and below the BMI 40 mark

[CSinTX 0]

Hello-

I have a BMI of 41.1 on the first appointment with the surgeon and a BMI of 39.3 on my first appointment with my PCP in the 6 month diet plan.

Which BMI will be used to determine if co-morbidities are required?

My plan states I qualify if I have a BMI over 40 or a BMI of 35 - 39 with at least 1 co-morbidity.

Any ideas?

I spoke at a meeting last night were the Baritatric doctor answered this. She stated that the insurance companies look at the consutation weight with the bariatric doctor.
