Pre-Op supervised Diet?

[lovealways 287]

I recognize you! You're following me and I'm following you on instagram! Lol! I too have a united healthcare plan and was stuck doing the 6 months. There was no way around it. Insurance companies usually throw in a 6 month diet in order to weed out the ones not serious enough or patient enough to jump through the hoop....they expect many to quit before finishing. The 6 months are a pain in the ass, I won't even lie, but if you keep your mind on the prize, you'll be alright. Some of your pre-op stuff MAY expire. I would check with your surgeon's office!

That is EXACTLY what happened to me last year, i was scheduled for Surgery Nov 30th, after meeting all requirements my Insurance Provider Required, 6 Month Diet and Exercise program was not required when we inquired in August, to only be denied in Nov because this requirement wasn't met. I was Pissed so was my Doctor, but I just completed the requirement on April 5th and my paperwork being submitted that day, the Insurance Company told me yesterday they were back logged and began my review yesterday, they told me to call tomorrow, as they should have reached a decision by then. So a new $3000.00 deductible had to be met, so I am praying no denial this time around. Just for your info though, I DID learn a lot from the class.
