Qualify for surgery with prediabeties as comorb?

My PCP wrote a letter of med nec and has prediabeties as the comorb... Has anyone had ins approve with just this? I dont have anything else as comorb, and BMI roughly 36-37.

I only have 2 more weigh ins, every other test was completed and passed. I just dont want to get to the end and them deny because its not full blown diabeties yet.

    I am not personally pre diabetic but during the initial information session that I attended the director said pre diabetic was not considered a co morbidity.

  • I'm pre-diabetic and just got approved so don't give up!

What BMI or other conditions do you have

I wasn't pre-diabetic but I had a pretty high BMI
