Hi, I think you are going to Dr. Mueller right? I am going with him too. I also have to do the 6 month diet. My first appointment is next week with the dietician at his office. It totally sucks to have to wait so long but there is no way around it.
I did call my insurance and the surgery is covered. They said I would just need to meet the requirements of my medical group. I just can't seem to find out what the medical group requirements are.
I have anthem blue cross *** with sharp community medical group and I keep hearing my medical group would require a 6 month diet but my insurance doesn't. When I first asked for the referral for surgery it was denied then I filled out a form listing past diets I tried and I was approved for the consult with the surgeon. Does anyone know if that means the surgery will get approved?
