Meritan Insurance



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have Meritan insurance through my wife's employer.

I believe they are owned by BCBS.

We live in AZ.

The weight loss center said we have to do a 6 month waiting period working with a dietician and regular weigh ins.

I asked the lady in charge of the insurance and billing portion of the weight loss clinic if there is any way around that?

She said that you can write a letter to the company but it is usually not successful.

My thing is, I am in pretty bad shape as it is.

My BMI is 56, I have HBP, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, chronic fatigue, chronic joint pain.

I would like to think they could make an exception.

If not, I won't be getting surgery until August at the soonest.

Any thoughts?

Or suggestions?

Only advice I have is to get started NOW working on your 6 months of supervised dieting. I also had to do this when I first started my journey last year. The months go by so fast you won't even realize that you've done it.

So you are saying that there is no point in trying to fight it?
Just put in the time?
I saw the surgeon and team last month, so the ball is rolling.
It just makes me angry that they make us wait.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
