Preparing for Insurance Hurdles



BE PREPARED:

Your insurance company may ask for some of the following items before authorizing your surgery ~
  • A detailed diet history
  • Current height, weight and BMI (body mass index)
  • A list of all co-morbidities that are or may be caused by your morbid obesity
  • A psychological evaluation/clearance
  • A thorough medical history
  • Internal Medicine Clearance
  • A recent medically supervised diet history
  • Medical records documenting your history of morbid obesity
  • Certain medical tests

It took two years advocating for myself to get my lab band in August. I believe having an attorney write my appeal letter convinced my insurance. I am so grateful to be banded.
