Insurance approval

Hi! My 6mo diet and all the information was submitted for approval last week! I'm wondering if it's too soon to call my insurance to make sure they have everything they need to make a determination. Did anyone on here call their insurance? If yes, how long did you wait and what types of questions did you ask? Thanks!!!

Forgot to give info on my plan in case anyone else may go thru the same and not know it yet. My insurance is thru the market place. Yes obamacare. United healthcare will not be offering platinum plans to residents of NC in 2016. I sure hope no one has to go they this mess.

Misty, all my insurance required was that I see my dr once every 30 days and talk about NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING but my weight! How it affects my daily life blah blah blah...it's basically a bi7ch fest about how fat I am for a few minutes. Next she asks what are you going to change this month to try to lose some? Last month I said "I'll ask for non fat milk in my lattes and walk up and down my street a few times a week." She then suggests a low carb diet and I leave. Easy peasy! BUT, whatever you weighed at your PCP office, DONT GO OVER!! You can lose but don't gain!!! Also don't lose so much that your bmi goes below qualifying.

thank you!
