Healthfirst/MCD NY

[Jma23317 6]

I just wanted to post this since i haven't seen one with the requirements. I am getting VSG in March here in New York. My insurance is Healthfirst with Medicaid and they cover bariatric surgery with the 6 month process.
I have no comorbities, only a bmi of 47.
My surgeon only required a psych eval, 3 nutritionist visits by phone (oct,nov,dec) and an endoscopy which i did in Nov.

Every month i also have to go for a weigh in at my primary doctor's office for the 6 months (Sept-Feb). February is month 6 of the process which is when everything will be sent to insurance for authorization for my surgery in March. Hope this helps!
