Hi everyone )

What was the process for you ?

Does everyone have to do 6 months process ? If so what is needed ....

Thank you

No six month diet for me-just a nutrition appt, psych eval, two year weight history, and pre/post op counseling. My doc submitted to insurance and got approved in less than 24 hours! I have surgery on 7/18! Which state do you have Anthem through? Mine is WI.

I just found out out about this 3 weeks ago (with KAISER)

Now I have Blue Across ) I'M SO HAPPY!!!!

I have to start the process with ANTHEM BLUE CROSS )

I just wonder how long things will be .... I see my first PCP Aug 8. I'm excited to meet my new (first) doctor with ANTHEM )

My first appt was may 9th!! My insurance did not require the six month diet.

My approval came from Anthem of Cali. No 6 month is supervised diet for me. Just psych eval, nutrition consult, endoscopy, esophageal manometry and proof of last physical exam within the yr before they submitted to insurance.
