Has anyone run into difficulty being approved by Anthem of Virginia? I started my year on February 1, 2012 and joined WW online. I'm talking regularly to the Cova Care Coach, and had my appontments with the nutritionist and counselor. I have my proof that I joined WW. If I don't lose weight on WW will they deny me or if I do? I had no co-morbidities when I started but have since gone on blood pressure medicine. Any information will be appreciated.

I have anthem and I was approved on the first try. It took less then 3 days

Thanks for getting back to me. That's great to hear.

I would keep all of your WW records, including the actual food log journals. I have heard of Dr's offices literally faxing the whole 6 months of journals. To be on the safe side, I would also schedule a monthly appointment with your PC Dr to discuss your weight loss efforts and get a monthly weigh in. Sometimes these insurance companies can be super tricky and if you miss one thing, you get to do it all over again.

I have Anthem BCBS as well, but I have a national plan that did not require a formal weight program. Good luck to you!

Wow, that's scary. I don't know if you can print out the online journals. You would think when they say do this, they wouldn't sneak new things in on you. lol. I can't say that I trust insurance companies though.

It took 2 days for my approval. I didn't send them all the detailed information. just a list And the dates. I wrote them a nice one page letter explaining how it woulf change my life while saving them money.

That's great. Congratulations and thank you for posting. I can't wait to get to that point.

Have you had your surgery yet?

I just got approved today. I didnt even wait 1 day! They did it online and in about 10 I found out! So happy... I hope you good luck!

I go in on Monday.

After my worrying, the insurance approved me over the phone, with no hesitation. Thank goodness. I have my pre-op appointment tomorrow and surgery on 2/25/13.
