I was just noticing some folks saying they had Dr supervised diet's, that knocked off some time from their pre op visits. I have been seeing my Dr for my diabetes every three months for 2 years now, and on some of my check out forms it states continue the same medications and try to be more strict with diet and exercise. On another check out paper it tells me to follow a 1200 calorie diet. My question is, just by saying this does this mean I have been under a Dr supervised diet? Will insurance accept that as a supervised diet?

That depends on your insurance. Call your carrier and ask for a case manager or a nurse manager who deals with bariatric surgery to discuss what the requirements are. You may not have a supervised diet requirement. My plan did not. but the only way to find out is to ask your plan.

I have ky Wellcare medicaid, I am sure I will have to jump thru many hoops.

But the only way to know is to call and ask.
