Medicare supervised visit requirements

[faithlove 25]

Hello, Im sure this question was asked before. I live in TX and have Medicare as a secondary insurance. My primary insurance does not cover WLS. Anyhow, Im confused as to how many supervised visits does Medicare require? 3 months or 6 months? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Tricia! I've read 3 months for some Medicare patients so I was confused.

I have Medicare also, I was required to do 3 months. Which surprised me. I hope this helps. I had my surgery on May 25th 2016.

Thank you Deanieluv6! So excited for you! What state do you live in?

WhitneyMC- I called Medicare and got no answers. Unfortunately, they just read what is on the Medicare website no other info is made available. Also each time I've called its a 2-3 hr hold to speak to a representative.
