nygurl 72 Posted January 22, 2013 Any of you guys done this in MI on a selfpay? BCN is potentially denying my insurance coverage bc although I have 2 yrs of Dr supervised dieting, they want 6 consecutive months of Dr visits as well...I need to pull my medical records to see if I've adhered to that...but just looking into options...... .

I have BC/BS and had to do the six months physician supervised doctor visits. Apparently some time last year they changed their policy requiring this be done. Good luck.

BeccaDawn 36 Posted January 22, 2013 I live in Troy and had my surgery on Jan. 15th. I went to Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Mexico since I was self pay. I am one week out today and 6 lbs. from surgery and down 15 lbs from my prep diet starting weight. I feel very lucky because I feel great! I have had a very easy, pain free recovery. Only problem has been dealing with head hunger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
