Hi,

I'm new here and I have read a few boards and I see everyone is beyond helpful in some way. I'm 25 years old and live in Westchester, NY. I went for my seminar December 10, 2014

And have my first appointment with the surgeon January 23☺️was wondering for those in NY with emblem health how long after your first appointment did you get a date? What are the pre surgical requirements that need to be completed beforehand? Thanks so much!!

You need to check with your individual plan. My insurance is through Horizon BC/BS but the Bariatric case management is through Optum which is UnitedHealthCare. Your individual employer may choose more or less strict pre-approval requirements. So Emblem may have different requirements for different plans.

Each doctor will also have different pre-surgery requirements.

I'm from new York and also have emblem health. My first appointment was 6/14 and got my date 11/14. The requirements where mental health, heart doc, endocrine, about 3 or 4 more. Surgery date 1/15.

Thanks so much! This helped a lot. It's hard finding out the requirements because like she said above every place is different. But because it's not through my employer I was wondering if it were different

Thank you so much. Hopefully my doctor won't require anything I have to pay out of pocket for.

I have an iPhone but I'm going to assume it's pretty much the same for most mobiles. in the upper left corner are 3 lines, click on that and the the menu comes up. Search is 7th from the top. Click that and type in what you want to search for.
