So happy to share that I just got my approval. Of course it seemed like forever, but the reality was it went very quickly. I have Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield NJ. When I first spoke to BCBSNJ in June, I was told I needed a 6 month doctor supervised diet, letter of necessity from my doctor, nutrition visit, psych eval. Come August when I went to meet with my surgeon for the first time I found out from the office coordinator that Horizon changed their requirements. No more 6 month diet. They required an over 40 BMI, a letter from me stating what diets I had been on over the course of the last year, a two year weight history from my PCP. (Just whenever they weighed me over the last two years) The psych/social worker consult, NUT visit. and POOF here we are! I had receipts from Nutra-system and Weight Watchers, and added them to my packet.
Just my Pre-op visit on October 9 and I'll have a surgery date.
I am so excited!!
