Greetins to all! I love this site and find the support overwhelming, thanks to all!

Question to anyone with BCBS of MI. I am in the early stages of this and did the seminar, met with Nut for the first of 6 monthly visits but fear that the insurance company will make me jump through more hoops? Anyone have this insurance and if so, can you share your storie/experience?

I appreciate any input.

Thank you

My NUT told me that the 6 consecutive visits with her would suffice....

Have a letter from BCBS that states the same requirements need to be met, hope there aren't any last minute surprises?

I would call the surgeons office and BCBSM to ensure that NUT notes count. The medical policy states Dr. Notes. I wasn't able to use progress notes from sad kin complex and I went for 6 months last year and was seen by nurse. So please check with your surgeon and the insurance

Will call Monday...thanks for everyone's advice really appreciate it.

So my insurance now will only cover it if I have sleep apnea type two diabetes or some heart disease either one thank god I don't but I think I have sleep apnea lol so there gonna send me to test for that. I am borderline line diabetic but that's not enough unless my doctor prescribes me meds=(

the same applied to me. If your bmi is under 40 you have to have additional co morbidity issue. I have sleep apena

That's exactly what I was told that I need some kind of co morbidity issue. I'm not sure if I have sleep apnea I do have trouble sleeping but I'm not sure of that has anything to do with it and sometimes I gasp for air but that's not too often. I hope I don't get denied!!!

I don't remember a lot about comorbidities. But did extensively document knee and back pain. I didn't have any comorbidities.

Did they accept your knee and back pain issues?

Did they accept your knee and back pain issues?

Yes. They did. I went to the doc every time they acted up and had them prescribe meds for the pain.

That's really good!!! =)

Have your Dr send you for sleep apnea test.....

I'm scheduled for October 24 that was the only available date for this month.

Does anyone know if the PATS testing covered by BCBSM?
