Hello, im trying to see if i can get approved through my insurance co. Im hearing different from my nurse/surgeons office and my insurance co. I was told by the nurse that anthem website said i should go through 6 mo diet, 3yrs of bmi of 40 and psyc eval and nutritionist.plus sleep apnea test. my ins. says to have the psyc eval and nutritionist eval and show other non surgical methods of weightloss.. Does not mention 6mo physician supervised.. Im confused and discouraged that im wasting my time.. can anyone help?

I don't have bcbs, but I would think that the insurance company would accept the 6 month diet as a 'non surgical' method of weight loss. Non surgical would be diet pills, weight watchers, dr monitored diet plans, etc..
