mentalistfan 189 Posted July 14, 2014 I was just approved...my insurance doesn't require the six month supervised diet...they require a BMI of 40 or higher or a BMI of 35 with a comorbidity. I had lab work, chest x-ray, EKG, Seminar, Nutrition Meeting, Psych Evaluation, surgeon visit, and a referral letter from my PCP. You can go to your insurance website or call them and have them send you the requirements for you to get approved, good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffy1026 2 Posted July 14, 2014 Yes. I will be doing that tomorrow! Unfortunately one downfall is that I have to pay 2000.00 dollars up front. But I keep telling myself it will all be worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
