Insurance questions

[natalie132 2]

Hi!

I spoke with my insurance and they say they cover my surgery with a pre authorization and psyc as well but do not cover nutrition?

I'm not sure if I was speaking the correct lingo but has this happened to anyone before?

My scheduler had said to ask them if the require 3 months or 6 months and they said we cover the survey with authorization but not nutrition.

Confused? Help please if you know

It sounds similar to my insurance in a way. My insurance covered my labs, and psych evaluation. It didn't not cover my nutrition class which meant I had to pay for the class which was $45 compared to what my deductible usually Is which was $20. And they didn't require me to do any kind of 3 -6 month supervised diet. But if I were you I would call them and ask them what is required for wls surgery. Because all those requirements need to be met before you submit for authorization. If something is missing from paper work then they will deny u so it's best if u ask the insurance first what's covered and how much of it they are covering before u move forward. Good luck to you

My insurance required a 6-month medically supervised weight loss program before they would approve the surgery. But even though they required this, they refused to pay for the doctor visits.
