Hey everyone I am so excited to see people are getting surgery dates.  I did have a question for some of you more experienced people.  What kind of documentation do you need to show Cigna that you have gone to the 6 months of Bariatric support groups?  I am going to my first one next week.  Also I know about the 6 month diet which I am in with my Dr. Was the notes from the Doctor good enough for detailed documentation of a weighloss plan  and excercise?  If not what kind of documentation did yall use?  Also what else do I need to be doing to get ready?

Thanks in advance for your help yall are a great resource.

I think that what will be required for the six months of support groups is still being established.  I was concerned about my doctor's notes being enough too.  I just reminded him every month of exactly what I needed using Cigna's guidelines (weight, current dietary program and physical activity).  I also made notes of the behavior modifications I had made and asked him to include that with my notes.  I have seen forms posted on the Insurance Forum that may be helpful.  I think that there may be one out there in the March posts.   Good luck!

Where is the insurance Forum?  Thanks for your thoughts.  I am glad to know that someone else is doing what I am doing.

Click on Forums on the blue bar towards the top of the screen, then choose Weight Loss Related and scroll down to see Insurance.
