I was told I have to do 6 months of weight loss consultations, along with a few others test to get approved for the surgery. My BMI is under 40. I am going through True results Houston. Anyone have the something different told to them?

I didn't know that my co-pays don't count towards my deductible.

I have Blue Cross Federal. It paid well and I only had to do 3 months before my surgery.

I too have BCBS Federal and am currently getting my 3 month of doctor suprvised visits before submitting my paperwork to the insurance. How long after the paperwork was submitted did you get the approval?

Did you have to show 1 yr of failed weight loss attempts? If so, how did you show that?

thanks!

I have fed BCBS. 3 months with a NUT, physc eval, proof of weight 2 years before(2012 and 2013) and dr requirements of EGD and cardiac consult, and some blood lab results. So far, out if pocket about $500 which included my $350 deductible. Not sure what my surgery will cost me once the ins pays what they contracted with the hospital and drs.

My three months started towards the end of August and I had my surgery December 5. I really didn't have a year of failed weight loss but my doctor had prescribed fentermine on two occassions over a one year period.
