When the insurance says one of the requirements is an evaluation with a nutritionist what exactly are they looking for? What needs to be documented for it to qualify?

I had to give my nut a 3 day food journal which she went over with with me. Plus she just told me what to expect pre and post op (protein shakes, water, etc). The appointment lasted 30 minutes...easy. I have Cigna too.

Thank so much. I have my appointment tomorrow. I just wanted to make sure everything is documented correctly. Jumping through all the hoops to get approved!

Cigna seems to deny people quite a bit on their first try. From what I've seen on here (and my own experience), they want to see how hard you will fight for this. I was denied in Dec for not proving I had a comorbidity (my bmi is 37). My dr sent them another letter stating again that I did have a comorbidity, and I was approved 2 days later. I wish you all the best! Keep in touch
