MrMarc 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Hi all, today im going in for my first consultation. i'm a bit worried. my bmi has dropped under 40. ik now this is really a good thing, but im worried my insurance will have issue. the bulletin states bmi must be recorded as over 40 for 24 months. I have record of it being over 35, but not over 40. has anyone had similar experience? were they approved anyway? 0157 bulletin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonSiren 48 Posted January 30, 2013 Do you have any co-morbidities like sleep apnea, diabetes, etc? They will cover it at 35 if so. I was perfectly healthy with a BMI of 42 so was covered with no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amgood 30 Posted January 31, 2013 It is my understanding that they cover it with 2 co-morbidities if you have htn or high blood pressure that counts also. diabetes and sleep apnea. Dont freak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
