I am currently in my 3rd month of my pre-op diet (for insurance purposes) and may be moving out of state before I hit the six month mark. I am concerned that transferring doctors may cause insurance to deny me. Has anyone experienced this or know what will happen? Ugh, worried...

You need to transition right into another program with no time lapses in between, and have your current program send them all your progress notes so they can continue we're you left off.

You're going to have to find a program before you move, contact them and tell them your situation.

Maybe have your current doctor recommend a new doctor were you may be moving to. But deff. let the insurance know and start looking now for a doctor were you are going to and not wait till you get there.

Have the current doctor make a copy of all your files for you to bring when you leave.

Thanks, I will do that! Now to find a doc in the Houston area!

I've heard great things about this place from a few friends on here:

Dr. Jason Balette

Awesome, thanks! I hope to stay here for six more months and have it done in Denver but we will see. I will check into Dr. Balette for sure!
