Hi everyone, I have a pre-surgical question; has anyone had their insurance company request weight records from your Dr. for the past 5 years? I’ve heard of people getting their surgeries denied because they do not meet weight requirements for the past 5 years. This worries me as I haven’t been submitted for insurance approval yet, but if my insurance company requests 5 years, I may have an issue. I am considered low on the BMI scale (35), however, with my heart attack last year, high BP, high cholesterol, etc., my surgeon says I meet the requirements. I hope I’m not stressing myself out before I even get to the pre-approval process.
Thanks everyone!
It was several years ago but my insurance denied me because I went an entire year without seeing the doctor. Hance I did not have 5 years of Records.
Insurance pre-approval; 5 year weight history???
