  1. Empire BCBS Pre-Surgery Weight Loss.

    aNYCdb posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
    Is there anyone out there with Emprire BCBS (NY) know if I would be disqualified for losing weight during my 6 month supervised period? My surgeon said no, but I'm not sure that's right and there doesn't appear to be anything on empireblue.com that seems to indicate. When I started the process I had a BMI of 40.2 and fatty liver disease, high bloodpressure (at least in the doctors office), and a high A1C as comorbidities. I want to lose weight before the surgery but I'm concerned that if I drop below a BMI of 35 the insurance company will not approve.
