Does anyone have BCBS of AL?



Recommended Posts

I've come to learn each BCBS has different requirements. I have everything the insurance company provided me about my 6 month documented diet plan but no where does it outline a certain about of weight that has to be lost. My primary warned me that he has seen insurance companies deny surgery of patients lose too much weight. He said I need to make sure I don't have a massive weight loss but couldn't give me a ideal number to stay within.

I called my surgeons office since I know they have more experience with this stuff and haven't heard back.

I'm just wondering if anyone has has any personal experience here. Dieting and exercising for 6 months pretty much guarantees I will start losing but now I'm scared to lose too much or on the flip side not enough. Seems crazy I know but it's all I think about and slowly driving me nuts!

They did call me back, according to my surgeons a office my insurance has no weight lost or gain limitations. Basically I could lose or not lose and it won't matter. Makes me nervous so I'm working to lose some but not a massive amount just in case there is a issue either way. Why would they require a 6 mo diet plan with no guidelines beats me.
