So here is the thing, my job covers my insurance (Regence Uniform Classic --- love it!), however, I had Molina before this. Currently, Regence requires me to have 6 months of nutrition visits with a (Nutritionist, Dietitian, PCP, whomever) that is once a month for 6 consecutive months within 2 years prior to surgery.

This is the thing, from August 2016 - February 2017 I had to call a Nutritionist at Molina once a week and they paid for me to do my weigh ins at Weight Watchers which i had to send them the results each week (I still have the booklet as well showing the weigh ins).

I plan to call Regence tomorrow, because technically... this surpasses what they are asking for. (Molina was once a week and Regence is asking for once a month, Molina was 7 calendar months whereas Regence only wants 6).

Anyone here do something like this before? Did your insurance accept it? (Since its technically what they are asking for...)

Yes. My work switched insurance companies in September and I had 12 months of medical appointment plus psychological and a bunch of other stuff. The new insurance accepted everything and I had surgery in October. I don't think it matters which insurance you used before but rather did you meet your current insurances requirements. I was worried too but it was fine. Turn in everything and see what they say.

I am waiting to hear back on Monday. The Molina customer service leaves much to be desired. I called them to have them transfer my record over to Regence and they had no idea how to and had to get managers, supervisors, etc. Then they mentioned maybe doing a letter stating I finished my 6 months of stuff, but the guy needed to talk to his supervisor and figure out how. Then tried telling me, oh there was only 5 of 7 tickets sent to me, had to go through explaining that they were definitely sent and I have my ww booklet right here that says otherwise. That didn't seem like much of an issue (5 of 7 tickets would still be 7 calendar months anyway)

I'm hoping they can get this figured out, I really don't want to wait 7 months for the surgery. What a waste of perfectly good weight loss time... o.o
