I am a self pay, can't help you with the insurance. But I would suggest you go to the Insurance form and ask the same question. Good luck to you

Wish I could answer your question but I want to welcome you. I did have to fill out a diet history for my surgeon who sent mine in with my packet for approval however I have UHC and I don't know really what they require. Good Luck...hope you find your answers.

Welcome fellow Texan! I don't have answers for your insurance questions, but the people in your surgeon's office should be able to help you. Keep reading, someone is bound to have an answer soon! Cindy

Hello & welcome! Sorry, but I too was self pay. If I were you I would do a search at the top of the page in the old posts. That should help with your questions. See you around...........Jess
