Does the clock on the insurance wait time start on the day of consultation or on the next visit ? I have to do 3 months of supervisors weight loss , I saw them once in July for consult, I'll see them again on 8/21.. so do I only see them one more time in September or September and October with a schedule date in November? I'm confused

Danybx, I had to wait until the dr office had everything required before they submit to insurance. Talk to the insurance coordinator at your dr office.

I had to do 6 consecutive months. My first appointment was a consultation as well and that visit went towards my 6 months. So your last appointment should be in September.

x2. My last structured diet monthly visit is next week (8/25/17). I started (3/31/2017) as month 1. They try to keep as close to 30 days in between as possible, so every appointment has been the last Friday of the given month.

Ok, see I started mine in January I missed my February appointment. I made March- June. Because it wasn't consecutive my 6 months started over from March to August. My insurance (BCBS) was extremely picky.

Yeah... The hoops they make us go through. My Dr's office tried to reschedule me because my NP was out sick. Because of how important the consecutive months were I couldn't wait, they made the morning NP stay all day to accommodate me (since I had a scheduled appointment). It was my 4th month, so they would have risked me having to start all over.

If the requirement is consecutive, it really means consecutive...

I started in March as well. I have hustled
These insurance people and office staff to get stuff done and it still isn't happening until the middle of September. The wait is awful and insurance makes you do soooooo much stuff!!
