Anyway else used Medicare to pay for surgery. I know it is 6 month weight? Any exceptions?

I have read a few ppl say 3 months, is the new requirement. I have Medicare as well, but my surgeons office hasn't addressed this part with me.

I have Medicare, it was a six month wait for me. But they did the surgery before they got the approval. So Medicare didn't pay the doctor, all I paid was 240.00 for the co-pay.

I used Medicare and there was no wait. I had a BMI over 40.

Thanks for the answers. They told me 6 months, but once they got my records from the VA which is my PC I may not have to wait 6 months. Already had Psychiatry and Sleep test and 1st meeting with surgeon. Have another appt with Surgeon office Monday maybe get some more clarification.

Good luck

Thanks????

I have a medicare advantage plan with Coventry Summit HMO insurance. They require I have the 6 months supervised diet in addition to all the various test previously mentioned.
