Is this Humana Medicaid?

I am disabled and I have humana Medicare. I had my bypass on March 9th. I went to doctor on first feb. Had psy evaluation on feb 17 surgery on Mar 9th.

Is this Humana Medicaid?

No this is through my employer.

I'm getting so much conflicting information. I call and every person I speak to tells me something different. I was just told by a Humana rep that they do not cover the sleeve just the bypass and the band. And she told me i need a 6 month diet assisted plan not 4 like I was originally told.
Should I call my surgeons office and let him know this? I just don't want to get to the end and be denied bc I didn't do something or get a bill for a procedure that isn't covered.

I don't understand that because I didn't go through non of that. I only had to lose 20 lbs. I lost 13. They had approved me before I lose anything. Let your Dr. Take the lead and get the approval for you. Sometime your health and weight plays a factor

When I met the surgeon yesterday he gave me a list of requirements needed by my ins company which was the recommendation and clearance from my pcp, meet with a psychologist, meet with a nutritionist, and 4 months of a documented physician assisted diet. He didn't say I had to lose weight but I could not gain anything from my initial weigh in with him.
My bmi is 43 plus I do have high blood pressure high cholesterol and I was prediabetic but I'm normal range now. Idk. I'm gonna call the office tomorrow and see if they've heard this before about my insurance.
