[bethanypl15 0]

I am on my last class for Cigna,and was now told today by the Dr office I can not make an appointment with a dietician until a month after my last class is finished? Has anyone had this trouble?

I was told Cigna now requires a full 90 day.

[bethanypl15 0]

I full 90 days after your last class to see a dietcian?

[sissytx 4]

I had to have 4 appointments with the nut. My last one is 4/22 and then they will submit. The waiting is hard, when I started it was only 3 appointments. Hopefully my approval goes fast but from what I have read here I am worried

My hospital that I work at,said I had to have 6 months of classes.

I have Cigna too and they told me 6 months. I'm tired of all the red tape and considering self pay.

If you go online. They claim to only need three months medically supervised diet. Do y'all know if u have to see nutrientist or can your primary doctor do the diet?

I have a question, does insurance pay for the nutrition vistits if they are with a nutritionist?

[sissytx 4]

Different companies opt for different coverage and restrictions. I had my appointment with the nut that works out do my WLS surgeons office. Insurance did not pay.

Cigna has been paying for my nut visits. She is on their list of approved providers. I would start there.

I have Cigna. The required the following: 3 nutrition visits once per month...had to be once a month..no more. No less. The required one psych eval, 1 cardiologist visit and an upper GI. Also my last 2years of weights from my primary and a note from my primary. My bmi when I started was 35. So I also needed another factor. So I did the sleep apneA test which I knew would b positive. They denied me at first button doctors office helped get it approved. Took a year from start to finish. I get sleeved in 2wks. Hope this helps
