Consultation appointment scheduled

I was just called and scheduled my consult appointment for Sept -10th and my psych eval for October 7th. She said all my insurance requires is a form proving I've tried to lose weight for 6 months on my own . How do prove this? I have had gym member ships and doing slim fast and I did weight watchers earlier this year but how do prove it?

    Most insurances require documentation from a doctor but you can ask your plan what they need. Call and ask to clear your mind for what yu need to provide! Good luck!

I'm speaking from what I just had to go thru to get approved for insurance. It was a long list!! Fortunately, had been going to dr on a monthly basis complaining about my weight. I was a ahead of the game with that part. Good luck to you.

@@tssiemer - you can prove your weight loss efforts because WW has attendance records and if you have a gym membership and can prove you took either some classes (spinning, zumba, water aerobics) you can probably use that as well, I did something very similar.
