Hey, i changed to NHP as bmc were asking 6months diets before approving. Nhp does not require that, but my surgeon officenis sending the request for the prior authorization monday. Hopefully they will aprove me!
Hey!
I just had my first visit with the surgeon, and they are a little worried about my insurance part (BMC healthnet - Commonwealth Care), where it says: "Continued obesity despite previous efforts at nutritionally and medically sound weight loss that have been tried and failed for a minimum of 6 months as documented in medical records".
My Dr think i will have to do a 6 months under a nutritionist supervision before going thru the surgery,they even gave me the idea of purchasing a private plan to do the surgery, but i called BMC and they said that i only need "proof" that i failed treatments or programs before (like WW, etc). I did have another weight loss surgery in 2007 called BIB in Italy, which did not succeed, and also did 1 whole year of ww in 2010, and gained all the weight back.
DId any of you dealt with this before? My BMI is 43.
Should i go forward with BMC or should i buy a new private policy?
thanks

My partner and I in my "before" shirt with room to spare!!! This is what a 168 lb weight loss looks like! I was just so big and trapped in my own body. the scary thing is if you combine both our weight, I was still 56 lbs heavier than our combined weight!
