I'm currently going through my 4th monthly weight loss visits. I have a question & hope someone has any insight. My Weight loss appts should be once a month every 30 days. My last month visit was on March 30th. 30 days from that date will be on April 30th which is a Monday..My PCP is off on Monday so she schedule me for Tuesday May 1st. I want to know will this cause a issue in the approval stage due to: I didn't see my PCP in the month of April & second I didn't see my PCP until the 31st day. I wouldn't hope seeing my doctor a day or two after 30 days will be a issue. Plus missing the month of April was out of my control.

My advocate at the hospital that I'm having surgery at told me to try and see another PCP on April 30th due to my PCP being off. I also called Aetna to inquire about and the representive I spoke with was no help. I don't want any issues when it comes time to submitting all my paperwork for approval.

I have Fed Blue and my weight loss appointments were ALL OVER the place 18th, 23rd, 14th, 30th and it didn’t affect me in the slightest. As long as it was by a doctor (not the nurse practitioner), the days didn’t matter as long as it was once during that month.

I reschedule my appt for tomorrow April 27 to see my PCP... I didn't want to take any chances.. Thanks for replying back
