Weight loss req.

[Ms.econway]

When I first did my referral I was 276. That was in January. Got the ball rolling in late Feb. March had 1st primary Dr appt. At that appt. I was up to 287. Have gotten up to 301 since. Fast forward. Now I'm down to 290. The insurance comp. Wants me at 266. Will they deny me for surg. If im not at the goal weight. Or would they approve it because I am following ALL nutritionist recommendations and have lost some weight.

It’s hard to say, but usually what the insurance company wants is how it has to go. If you have an insurance advocate at your doctors office, you should ask them for clarity on the situation.

Yea I would definitely do what insurance says that way they have no reason to having any issues with approval.

I have heard if u are close they will do it. But everywhere seems different so I’m just trying to get to 282 from 299 so I can schedule my surgery.
