Oh, they are not getting pics:omg:!!!!! I just thought it was odd. Here is the list per Elizabeth w/Cigna: All medical records test results lab results weight/height/BMI Meds I'm on Family health history treatment plans for weight loss blood pressure photos exact CPT codes evalutaion by PCP/Surgeon/Psych/Nutritionist must take part in a 26 week Professionally supervised weight loss program. Look, I know the lady is completley wrong for asking me for photos but she really did say it.

I have Cigna and do you know they told me to make sure submit pictures of myself??? I was a bit confused so I said it back to her..."pictures'? and she said yes mam. I then could not help myself and asked what she would like me to wear in in the pictures....something black and lacey??? She didn't think that was funny at all.

INTERESTING.....I am in week 5 of pre op classes that my surgeon has all of his patients take and have not been asked to do the weightloss program yet(I'm sure it is coming). My paperwork was submitted to Aetna last Tuesday and I am now playing the waiting game. I am very happy for you and wish you much success on your journey!:clap2:

rroswell, that is so great to hear! Did you have complete the Dr. approved weight loss program?

Thank you for confirming that for us. it is greatly appreciated.

Yeah! I just met with Dr. Sonnastine yesterday and have been really concerned about Aetna, then I read this and I could do a flip( if I knew how and could get this body to flip)!:biggrin1:

Well, that stinks...they(insurance co's) are they great satan arn't they? Well, I just keep moving ahead, keep my chin up and continue to fight the good fight! I'll let you know how it all goes.

This is my first post, so forgive me if I'm ask something that has been asked a million times, but I was curious about the Aetna post? I have a group Aetna Plan ( POS II). I am supposed to meet with my surgeon for the first time April 4th. I have rheumatory arthritis, BMI of 40, about 110 lbs over weight. I expected to have to go through the normal psych. eval, diet etc...but why would Aetna have you wait 6 months?:eek:
