Answer to the Nutritionist Question

Patti, I talked to Becky at Dr. Blackstone's today and asked about the nutritionist consult. She's says that it is required by Cigna. It is supposed to be with a registered dietician and the purpose of it is to go over diet now and after wls. I guess they want to make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into and are making an informed decision. Dr. Blackstone has a dietician at her office, but she is not covered by Cigna and the cost for the consult is 75.00. I made an appointment with a Cigna dietician for Monday and hope that she will cover what needs to be covered. I'll let you know how that goes. Connie

Thanks so much, Connie! Patti

Connie, When did Cigna start requiring you see a nutritionist....it wasn't even on my 'to-do' list from Randy....Did Cigna change the requirements?
