The insurance coordinator where im trying to get my sleeve said she "heard" anthem is now requiring a 6 month diet attempt. Can anyone confirm this?

Sort of off topic, but I see people often mentioning co-morbidities on here. Is that a deal breaker for surgery? What constitutes a co-morbidity?

Yes, it's true. The 6-month requirement was added in January.

Thats weird i was approved last week and they didnt say I had to do the 6 month. I hope they dont say oops we forgot to have you do this so your surgery is cancelled.

I was just denied for not doing the diet. Anthem.

This makes me nervous. Maybe i should say something to the insurance coordinator. Or maybe i should keep my mouth shut ????
