Oxford United Health Care!

Hey guys!!!

I am so new to this.

So someone called me from the bariatric office to go over all the steps that I need to get insurance approval. For oxford united health I think that you need;

-bmi of 40 and up ( My BMI is 42)

-6 month of documented weight loss ( I am on month three now )

-a psychological evaluation. ( This appt is on the 5/16/2016)

Now she tells me that I need the last 2yrs prior to surgery of doctor records of attempts to lose weight....

I went on oxford united health to see if this a requirement to get approval and I don't see it anywhere. Please see link below.

I have the same insurance and the only requirements were the BMW of 40 or above, 6 months of documented weight loss and the psychological evaluation. The nutritionist documented that I had done WW for 2 years and had also joined the gym but didnt ask me for any prove of it even though I had it. So that maybe just for their records because Oxford didn't require it. I got approved within one week. I would call Oxford an enquire about it because like you I didn't see it as a requirement.
