medically supervised diet...

[Sabrina140 0]

My insurance (Aetna CA) requires, like many insurers, a 6 month medically supervised diet... does any one know what the insurance is expecting? I am about 4 months into my 'diet' and am getting nervous... What if I do not lose enough? Do they care how much? My nutritionist says that my severe sleep apnea and bmi should be enough for approval, but have others been denied? Ahhhhhh! Driving myself nuts. Lol!

they want to see that you atleast tried to lose weight in some form lucky you for having a comorbidity because it makes approval much much easier ihad to gain weight to be approved

My insurance wanted a very detailed report, with progress notes. They rejected the first report. The facility had to re-do it. They gave me one complete with graphs to accompany the progress notes, and a detailed cover letter.
