New Here...Question on 6 month diet...

So, my question is two-fold....

My husband and I started our 6 month supervised diet on January 27th. First...I have been trying to reach our insurance company's bariatric department to confirm if they just need 6 letters (Jan, Feb, March, April, May, and June) or if they will need the 7th one effective July 27th or later?

Second...We had to bump our 2nd appt up to February 5th but have been on track every 4 weeks plus or minus a few days since then. Did I mess up making the appointment too close? Due to work and personal issues, there wasn't any way we could've done the appointement 4 weeks from the first one.

I was told I would have a case worker assigned to my file in two weeks. I was hoping to find out from others experiences before then.

Does anyone have any insight?

Thanks in advance...

You're insurance is really the one that can answer these questions. Every insurance is different. My insurance required 6 months of weight management, and that was from first appointment with the nutritionist, + 180 days. I saw them weekly at first, but that was by my choice. But they would not write the recommendation letter until I had completed the 6 months.
