In the process of prerequisites

So ive read on here that most insurance requires 6 months of nutrition appointments.... my first nutrition appointment isnt until December 15th! Does that mean I won't even be considered for surgery until june of 2017??? Im so worried about that because the company I currently work for is not doing so well and may even close its doors before then. I have bc/bs insurance. My surgeon is out if Gainesville Fl. If anyone is from the area, I'd love to talk.

I also have bcbs federal and my time is 3 months. My primary doctor was great with helping me. I am on month 2 and hopefully I can have surgery before end of year. I started last month.

@@anywon I have BCBS Federal, and I only had 3 months on mine. My surgery is on 11/8.

I would call your member services # that's on your ins card tomorrow and ask them about your bariatric benefits.

Also for my policy if I used a Blue Distinction Center I only had to pay a copy of $150 for my surgery, and $35 doctor co-pay.

I wish you the very best of luck in this.

I have BC/BS and have had to go to 6 months of nutritionist appointments. Every plan is different. You should be able to read your plan details online.

I have BCBS and I had to do the required 6 month nutrition appointments. I started Dec 2015 and didn't have my surgery until August 2016. Don't be discouraged it taught me a lot before having surgery!
