All my insurance sd that they require is a letter of medical necessity frm my primary care dr and attended 3 nutritional classes in order for my operation to b covered I have a bmi over 40 with sleep apena and frm reading these posts this seems to easy. Ne thoughts or comments?????

I had bcbs in Ohio and I had to do 3 months of nutrition visits. That is probably what you mean.

Yea 3 consecutive months of nutritional classes

I have BCBS NJ also. I was sleeved last Tuesday. For my plan (Direct Access) I was required to have a Psych consult, a Nutritional Consult, a 2 year weight history, and a letter from me stating what I have tried to do to lose weight and my history.

I was approved within a week .

Good luck!

I have Horizon BCBS of NJ... I was sleeved 12.12.2012... My approval was quick once submitted... I was required to have a psych consult 3 consecutive months of visits with the nutritionist and that's all! I was approved 3 days after my surgeon's office submitted to Horizon!
