BCBS - 6 month monitored weight

[butterfly** 39]

So BCBS requires six months of recorded weight. This is my second month. I had no other appointments with my surgeon this month and was told I didn't need an appointment to be weighed. So I drove the 40 minutes to his office this morning, took time off of work, only to be told that the insurance changed. They now require you to be seen by the doctor every time you need your weight recorded. There were no doctors in the office until 1:00 pm today so they could not squeeze me in. Now I'm taking more time off of work to go back on Monday. It would have been nice if they called. Oh well, I just wanted to give those with BCBS coverage the information in case they want to give their doctor a call and schedule any needed weigh ins. Have a good day all!!

That's odd. I have BCBS of Alabama and was weighed by either the nutritionist or the nurse every time during my 6 month visits. I have only seen the doctor twice during my whole process, once at the beginning and once at the end.

I am curious becaue I have BCBS of Alabama. I have my final pre-op appt.tomorrow. I went to see my PCP once a month for 6 month to get weighed. The patient navigator at my surgeon's office is conerned that my PCP did not include detailed notes about our discussions regarding weight - they jut recorded my weight and blood pressure. Some of the appt. notes included discussion of diet and exercise and some did not. I will be so upset if they decline me over this.

I was told these changes are new. I hope that everyone who is at the end of their weigh ins has no issues. Im just beginning. Good luck everyone.
