6 month supervised weight loss visits

[melindakreeger 9]

I have my 1st eval August 13th. My pcp is writing up a letter of recommendation so Ill be bringing that with me to my eval appt. Question about the 6 month supervised diet.. My pcp documented my last appt as a weight loss appt & she has me coming back next month so Ill have 2 under my belt Before my 1st eval with Beaumont So with that being said, will those appts count as supervised visits Or will it Not count thru my pcp & it has to be 6 visits from the beaumont weight loss place??

Mine had to be with the same person for 6 months, but every insurance is different. You are best to call your insurance and find out

I has two visits with my PCP before my visit with the surgeon too. The surgeon said they should count as long as my PCP writes up the visits properly. It needs to document my weight, what weight loss advice she gave me. As long as your insurance doesn't require the 6 months to be with the same person then I would imagine you'd be okay. Definitely something to ask your surgeon when you get there.
