I got a letter from insurance saying that I needed to do a 3 month diet for ferther consideration, but they want my Dr. office to re submit in no less then 45 days. How does that work?

My recommendation would be to call your insurance carrier to confirm exactly what their requirements are. They should be able to give you this in writing. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield. When I called them to verify benefits, they were able to provide me with a very detailed list of requirements and patient selection criteria. For instance, my carrier requires that I follow a physician and dietician supervised diet and exercise plan. They require that I see both providers at least 6 times in 6 months. Every insurance company is different, so the best thing to do is call Customer Service. Best of luck to you.

No less than 45 days, or no more than?

So my Dr. office called for me and they are now saying that they never got anything from them saying that i wanted this done. She faxed over the letter that she got from insurence and all she said was oh.

So the plan the my dr. and i came up with is go back to PCP Friday so that i have a " July" diet appt. Then go back in 2-3 weeks for a Aug diet appt. and that will give me 4 months of notes of a diet with my PCP and that way we can send it in before 45 days. Hope it works.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
