Question regarding BCBS FEDERAL requirements

[mamaofmatthew 51]

Hello,

I have BCBS Federal, Basic Plan. I am required to show "Evidence of attemed weight loss in the 1 year period prior to surgery have been ineffective". I asked my surgern about it and he said reciepts for gyms, or notes from family doctor would work. But I don't have either of those even though in the last year I have several attempts of losing weight on my own.

I was thinking about doing a notarized letter for insurance with a list of attempted diets. Anywone try something like this or something different that worked??

Also how do I prove I have not smoked or been to rehab??

Thank you!!

Maybe you discuss your weight with your doctor within the year. The letter from your doctor seem simple, not to mention they weight you every time you go in
