Pre determination form

[Crich36108 1]

Hey y'all! Have anybody submitted a pre determination form to bypass the 3 to 6 months Nutrition visits to the insurance company? If so please explain the process. Thanks!

I have no experience with that, but I do recommend you take the 3-6 months. It will help you to transition to your new lifestyle. I read so many posts about people that didn't have to wait and are horribly unprepared. They all thought they were ready, but really weren't. I suggest taking that time and using it to research everything about the surgery and post-op life. Good luck.

I wouldn't mind taking the time, however I don't have any family in my area and they want to be here for me before the summer is out. I don't think I can do this alone.

All my insurance company required was a pre determination. The Surgeons office took care of submitting everything once i had met all of their requirements. I was approved in two days(i called to find out if they had all my paperwork and they said i was approved ) and got my approval letter in like a week and a half. B/C my program had more requiremnts then the insurance company it still will be about 4 months from when i had my first meeting to when i have my surgery though.
