Scheduling pre-op diet visits UHC

I have visit #4 coming up on Friday of my supervised 6 month diet (UHC provider). I have been very strict on going exactly one month apart. Each time has been on the 22nd or 23rd of the month. I may need to push this months visit to the 30th of the month. My visits have been, Dec 22, Jan 22, Feb 23... Will March 30 cause an issue in the connective monthly visits since its a week later than the previous visits. I guess I could call the insurance company, but would love to know any real world experiences.

Thank you!

Oh, the time of the month does not matter. It is only matters that you went that month as scheduled. If you miss a month then it messes up your progress.

To know for sure, you need to look at the exact wording of the company's policy bulletin covering WLS requirements, which should be on their website somewhere - that is your bible. Insurance companies, and even different policies sold by the same company in different locations, can vary widely, though I can't see them being so picky that a week one way or the other would make a difference - there has to be some allowance for scheduling.

On mine (which was with Aetna, which probably is different now than it was then,) while they implied monthly visits in their "six month physician supervised diet/exercise program" it was not specifically required, and due to scheduling issues between me and my PCP who was my "supervisor", we only wound up doing four visits, and that went through fine. The devil is in the details.

I also have UHC. they didn't give me a hard time about that kind of thing. but call them and make sure they're looking at YOUR policy when they answer you.
