Anyone know the requirements that nned to be met to get approved for WLS on Anthem BC California?

I believe you need the 6 months of continuous medically supervised weigh ins with your pcp. I have anthem be/bs and mine did say that until I think it was changed a month ago. Now mine says I need 5 consecutive years of diagnoses morbid obesity. If you call your insurance company they should be able to tell you what the requirements are in your policy! Good luck ???? the insurance part is what makes me most nervous!!!

thank you, wow 5 years I still haven't even gotten blood work done don't even know what conditions I have , if any

I started with a complete physical with my pcp, they did the blood work then...the program you're going through will test you for sleep apnea and other things if the feel you need it! It can be a long process and it makes it go quicker if you know what requirements you insurance policy has ????
