Medical recorders - Dr. monitor weight loss for 6 month
I just finished my 6 month doctor supervised diet a month ago for my insurance. You must have on/in your medical records with your primary.
Your starting weigh-in, what type of diet your following, and your doctors signature each time. After the intial visit, you must make monthly visits showing your progress and what your doing to show you mean business as to how your increasing your exercise, better food choices, better knowledge of your diet and which surgery you expect to have, etc.
I was placed on a atkin's type super diet with no carbs at all, but some still made it in there. By sticking to this type of diet which is very close to the Post-Op meal planning only very smaller portains.
Remember though after each visit, you want to see what the doctor is writing so that your sure its being documented correctly. I had a friend denied because the doctor just putt in the current weight and signed it nothing else. He wouldn't even doctor it up later on. She had to start over with another doctor. But eventually just gave up.
Yvonne,
If your referring dr. has recorded visits to their office they can use those. My primary recorded all my visits but they were never asked for them at all by my surgeon nor my ins co. I live in the same area as you but went to Tampa. I used Dr M. Murr and don't regret all the trips to Tampa for a minute. Dr. Murr was excellent and Tampa General Hospital was so efficient. Not one regret!
