Low Vit D and B12 Prior to surgery, Will this be affect approval?



Recommended Posts

Anyone have Low Vit D and/ or B12 prior to surgery? Did this affect insurance approval?

I have been taking Prescription D for a year and numbers came up but not enough to clear the deficiency and recent blood-work added B12 deficiency. My current PCP is suggesting to just take otc supplements (which I have been doing) previous PCP gave RX Vitamin.

Just wondering mainly if it will affect approval process. Also any supplement recommendations would be great.

Thanks in Advance

The blood work ordered from my surgeon came back with low B12 and D. My primary care has been giving me B12 injections and a Vitamin D prescription since getting those results.

I'll be submitting to insurance in about a week, so I'll let you know what I find out if no one responds before then!
