Aetna Req On 2Yr Weight History



Recommended Posts

So my insurance navigator request 2yr weight history for my approval. I got 2010 and 2011 weight history but she says the BMI for both yrs has to be over 40. My BMI for 2010 is 39.85 and 41 for 2011. I'm concern Artna my denied me because of 2010. Should I talk to my PCP or to leave it as is? I don't want to be denied because of a decimal short. My PCP did write a notice saying my BZmI should be consider 40 given for the past 10 yrs I been struggling with obesity. Do you think this helps? Any advice or comments will help.

Don't worry. Aetna needs 2 years weight history,which is just the documentation regarding your weight they are not looking at the BMI, for each year they will consider the BMI as of current date. your PCP only needs to show 6 consecutive months of diet history or you can do 3 month with a nutritionalist then your psych ev..al

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
