Wow now I'm a little scared. I have Aetna too and have not even put in my paperwork yet. I have my phyc evaluation on the 16th then I'm done except for Aetna's appproval. My doctor's office said I didn't need the 2 year history but I think I will work on getting that now and have them send it anyway. Does anyone know what kind of form it needs to be on? I examples of the weight loss program that my doctor used put not sure how they expect the 2 year history.
