I searched for MMSI when I was first researching WLS options. I wanted some information regarding their requirements and turnaround time, but I couldn't find anything. I've since been approved and want to share my experience.

My particular plan covers 90% since my provider is in-network. There is no coverage for out-of-network. The requirements for coverage are to have a BMI over 40 or a BMI over 35 with one co morbidity, complete a psych evaluation, and attend behavior modification group. There was no supervised diet requirement.

My paperwork was submitted by my doctor's office on July 31st, 2013. I received my approval on August 8th, 2013.

Good luck to you

whats mmsi?

My insurance will be MMSI as of 1/1/2015. I've completed the psych eval and have one session left for the behavior modification. How long of a wait did you have between the end of the modification and getting the surgery date set?
