Requirements

So I called my insurance and they cover it and I have to do the 6 month diet thing which is fine. I called to set up my consultation to get things going. I asked if they knew of the other requirements as the insurance could only tell me that I had to do the diet for 6 months. She said my Bri had to be greater than 35. Mine is exactly 35. I am borderline hypertensive. She said I would need to have a letter of medical necessity. She said usually of they if they have u do the 6 month diet they don't require u to have other comirbidioes

Comorbities. Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure how good my chances will be.

High blood pressure, diabetes, etc. Even if border line may help.
