Changes for LapBand Requirments??

My surgen said that because my bmi is so high, the insurance company may not make me do the 6 month supervise weightloss, I have been seeing my doc every month talking about what I have been doing getting weighted and such just in cause but the surgen said that the insurance companys are finding out that they spend all the money for the supervision and then still spend it for the surgery? Has anyone heard of this?? Also after the new year things were suppose to change making it easier??

I have BC/BS of IL

    I was just on the medical policies section of the bcbsil.com website and did not see any new updates or changes to the approval criteria. I have not heard of the high BMI rule that you do not have to do the 6 month supervised weight thing. Good luck! I hate bcbs ill
