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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
