they now have changed there policy which is soooooo annoying because no where on there website does it say that u need 6 months of documented weight loss attemps recorded by a dr.... it just says that you now need to have weight loss attemps recorded by a dr. no time frame is stated but when u call triwest on the phone they tell you there policy now is a 6 month documented weightloss attemps recorded by dr.... IM SO MAD!!!!! cant believe they can get away with this ! so its now a 40 BMI or a 35-39.9 with co morb PLUS 6 months of proof from a dr! good luck everyone im having a real hard time getting approved !!!!! 3 time around and still getting denied!
