Most insurance companies require you to prove that you have had a medically supervised weight loss program for at least 6 months....they are pretty srict about it - most require you see your doctor at least once a month every month, get weighed, have your doctor record your weight and write into your medical records that he has discussed weight loss procedures with you. You'll need to have a doctor that is willing to cooperate with you to prepare for weight loss surgery and then write a letter indicating that he thinks you could benefit from it. Not all PCP's are in favor of wls...make sure yours is on board with you and will support you. |
GAYLE....yes u are correct because i have been told that by several people on how slow the process can be with insurance but i was also told that BCBS of SC wont cover it by someone else on this website so i may have to be a self pay. where i am going to get the money from..i have no idea..lol
