Also, Technically it could still be denied but they will make sure you have done everything your insurance requires so it does not. They will submit all the requirements with the prior authorization-

Hi! I too was told by the insurance coordinator that I needed to do 6mos of a supervised diet and psych evaluation. I was super bummed because I had met my insurance deductible already for this year and that time would put me at the new year for the insurance. After searching and searching on here I found a few posts where the insurance coordinator was wrong. So, I decided to call my insurance to further investigate how i could get around this and was told by them, ( i have United Healthcare ChoicePlus) that i do not have to do anything but have the bmi or bmi with 2 comorbiditys. My insurance coordinator was actually argumentative with me and said I would be the first in blah, blah years..... After insisting she submit it anyways, I was approved in a week first letter. So, Definitely call your insurance- I called 3xs to make sure it was the same answer every time!
