Qualify for surgery with prediabeties as comorb?

[MrsB2007 90]

My PCP wrote a letter of med nec and has prediabeties as the comorb... Has anyone had ins approve with just this? I dont have anything else as comorb, and BMI roughly 36-37.

I only have 2 more weigh ins, every other test was completed and passed. I just dont want to get to the end and them deny because its not full blown diabeties yet.

I am not personally pre diabetic but during the initial information session that I attended the director said pre diabetic was not considered a co morbidity.

No it's not. I'm pre diabetic and I just got denied by insurance. Bmi of 37.5.
