Today was the last of my 6 months supervised diet! But i was told by my PCP in order to submit i have to have an xray and cardiac clearance..my question is..do i have to have cardiac clearance before my advocate submits to the ins company...i hate to have this hold of submittal???

you need to ask your insurance company. my surgeon required some testing that the insurance company didn't. if all the insurance requirements are met then you can ask them to submit, but my surgeon's office wanted his own requirements met first before they would submit.

good luck, stick with it!

I wasn't scheduled for any pre-op appointments until my insurance approved the surgery. After I got approval, I had to have an EKG to make sure my heart can handle surgery, blood work, and an upper endoscopy. It's frustrating to have to go to all these appointments, but I think it's good because if they find any problems that you are unaware of, you can get it treated right away.

Good luck! Mine is being submitted tomorrow. They say I will know in 48 hrs once submitted. I'm so afraid they will tell me I need to wait 6 months.
