I'm about to enter the world of jumping hoops for insurance approval. Ill be going to Dr. Neff/ Kennedy. Seminar July 7! Anyone have tips or experience as to what requirements to expect?

Anyone???

Hi Angel, well I also have horizon nj health I just started my process with Dr. Patel at cooper bariatrics so I haven't been approved yet but I can tell you a cousin of mine had the same insurance and it only took her a few months to get her surgery day. How far along are you I'm the process now?

Anxiously waiting for Monday for the surgeon's seminar. Can't do anything till I go to that. Anxious to what requirements I'll have. Worried I don't have weight history documentation...bmi isn't an issue. Anxious all around...feel like Monday will never get here...,

I started with my appointments yesterday with the pulmonary Dr they will schedule a sleep study and have a whole bunch of other appointments. Hopefully I will get approved fast my bmi is actually 37.5 so they are working on finding the co morbilities. I talked to the insurance company and she told me if I had gerd and arthritis I could be approved they just have to prove that it's affecting my health.

Did you need a weight history?

Do you have to do six months supervised diet?

I wish you a speedy process!

No weight history, and I have to do 3 months with nutritionist that's all

Thank you

Hello. Any updates? Did they approved you?

Any updates?

Any updates?

Any update?????

Which Dr are you using.....

I too have horizon nj health my surgeon is doctor samuel wasser from virtua. I will be sleeved on 12/29. Good luck

I think the Dr office has a lot to do with it, I was approved with a low BMI (27) and it only took 2 weeks to get approved

I have horizon NJ health. All of my things were submitted into insurance one week ago and I'm waiting to hear back if I've been approved or not. My surgeon said that horizon nj health has been giving them a lot of issues and denying people left and right for silly reasons so I'm very worried that I've been going through almost 7 months of doctors appointments and procedures gearing up for this, only to be denied
