I have Aetna Choice POS II. After jumping though hoops for three months, my insurance coordinator submitted everything on Monday. Does anyone else have this plan? Are they easy to get an approval from? How quickly did you get your approval?

I'm just so anxious about the possibility of getting denied. I can't sleep and I'm overeating. After various diets, pills, and fitness programs and still gaining the weight back, I want my weight loss efforts to actually mean something!

I too have Aetna POS II. I will start my 3 months supervised diet in Feb. What requirements did you have to meet? I did my initial appointment last week.

@@Britt my insurance coordinator gave me a form to give to my doctor to fill out. It had basic questions like, what kind of behavioral changes am I making, etc.

Below is what she emailed me about requirements:

One visit with the dietitian for evaluation

· One visit with psychologist for evaluation

· Four visits (once each consecutive month) with PCP documenting weight, diet, exercise and behavior modification. Each of these points needs to be in each report.

· Copy of last physical exam notes

· Letter of medical clearance from PCP

My PCP also did some basic labs on me.
