So glad I stumbled across this post. I have aetna as well, My dietician and surgeon are going off of the Aetna bulletin you posted (0157). The #3 on the bulletin has my dietician scratching her head... the " Program must be intensive (12 or more sessions over any duration of time) and occur within 2 years prior to surgery (Note: Programs may extend beyond two years if the final session occurred within two years prior to surgery); " I'm curious ,if anyone else who had to meet that criteria, what kind of time frame you completed it in? My dietitian wants to treat it as like a Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig program, basically once a week visits for checkup which would allow me to complete that in 3 months. Some of her colleagues are saying once a month for 12 months. I'm curious to see what experience others have had with the timeline of completing this. Spoke to an Aetna rep today, he too is under the impression that 12 sesssion's means just that 12 sessions ... any time. Whether its 12 days back to back (although laughed and said probably wouldn't be beneficial but would satisfy the wording on the requirement criteria) , once a week, or once a month. IT WOULD ALL BE CORRECT. If anyone could shed any light on this, please do so :)
