What is considered a required visit?



Recommended Posts

On paper I have all 6 required physician visits but I noticed my doctor doesn't take the best notes :(. Do you think the insurance taken into consideration that that is not my fault?

Insurance is likely going to want good notes but your surgeon's office should be able to review the notes and know if you have a good shot or not. I remember my dietician told me I needed one primary doctor at the end of my three months of insurance required visits because the notes from the first visit weren't going to cut it. At the end of the day it's up to insurance but maybe the surgeon can at least give you their input.

Ugh. I've worked so hard for this to be denied because of a technicality. I'll be calling the insurance company to verify what they need and what I have. Thank you for your input.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
