TES 858 Posted February 25, 2013 Is it just 6 appointments or 6 months? I know a lot of insurance plans require 6 months of appointments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TES 858 Posted February 25, 2013 6 months but i was eager to finish all appts and test ...i finished everything in less than 2-3 months. I have BCBS (their requirements vary by state) and they did require an actual 6-month waiting period, not just 6 months worth of appointments. Your experience may be different. It was a bummer for me b/c my deductible for last year was paid and I would have loved to have my surgery in December with no deductible--but I had to wait until Feb b/c of the 6 month requirement and then the insurance approval time (quick for me) and wait to schedule the surgery.

DebDUtah 67 Posted February 25, 2013 I had a 6 mos period of weight loss/physician supervision, with the visits no more than 2 mos apart, although they could be closer, but it had to be 6 months of supervision. I hope for the best for you and hope you get approved, but do not be surprised if they want you to wait longer. If that is the case verify that you do not need to be seen by the doctor anymore, as it would really suck if you had see the doctor again and you didn't. For now keep our fingers crossed and see what they say. If they want you to wait know it is just around the corner 6 months but i was eager to finish all appts and test ...i finished everything in less than 2-3 months. to 6 months but i was eager to finish all appts and test ...i finished everything in less than 2-3 months. 6 months but i was eager to finish all appts and test ...i finished everything in less than 2-3 months.

Colemon70 87 Posted February 25, 2013 With my insurance it says I needed 6 months of attempted weight loss by a doctor supervision. I didn't I had 4 months documented by my doc and they weren't even consecutive. I stalked insurance by calling them constantly lol. I found out in less than 2 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
