I just sent in my patient application with letter of medical necessity from my pcp, and insurance info. I have Coventry HealthCare Insurance of Kansas and have already spoken with them regarding coverage. They DO cover and have a few items in their criteria.

Would any one happen to know the process or length of time for approval with Coventry HealthCare of Kansas?

I am completely new, so any info is greatly appreciated!

I have Coventry Healthcare also but live in Florida. I have a 6 month supervised diet I must follow and after that all my information will be submitted to the insurance company. Sorry I can't answer your question but it is nice to see someone else on the site with Coventry Insurance.

It's nice to know I am not alone. We love our insurance provider. The benefits are excellent and affordable. Our policy states a 6 mo supervised diet or (2) 3 mo supervised weightloss programs would be sufficient. I am waiting to hear back on my next step. I am looking forward to the journey!

I got my new Coventry 2016 book this week and every single procedure has gone up for the copay. Some of the changes are as much as $100.00 more than I am paying this year. I am hoping I will have my surgery in Dec so I do not have to pay all the additional co-pay increases. Monday I see the Surgeon for my 4th of 6 supervised diet visits.

I hate that! I hope everything works out for you!

We have our insurance through my husband's employer. I spoke with HR regarding any changes for next year. The only thing changing on ours is for ER visits. We will have a $100 co-pay and you're required to pay any deductible upfront.

I am a candidate for VGS!!

I have my psch eval/ testing and follow up scheduled. Waiting to hear from The Dietician to start my 6mo supervised diets/exercise. I have a dilemma tho. I have a BMI of 43.6 and was told I cannot lose below 40 before they submit to insurance approval. So I cannot lose kore than like 12-14 lbs in 6 mo. Is this a requirement with your policy? Just curious.
