Aetna Insurance Michigan

SleevedButterfly · July 14, 2016

Hey All! I have Aetna insurance and their guidelines state that the wait is 6 months or 3 months with a multidisciplinary program. Is anyone familiar with Aetna insurance? Had anyone only had to wait the 3 months. For reference, my BMI is well over 40.????

You need to ask them what do they mean by multidisciplinary program. I have Cigna and their definition was that I had to meet with a nutritionist for 3 months, show 2 years of my weight and get a medical clearance letter. Insurance company's we know can be tricky because they don't want to really pay for anything anyway...get into the specifics with Aetna..

I bet you will only have to do the 3 months..

I don't have the last two years of prior weight history (embarrassed to go to doctor and get on scale, so I avoided), but I have prior. And, like I said my BMI is way over 40, and I've been overweight my entire life, so any medical history...I'm over weight.
