Emblem aka GHI
Ohhh Kim, I wish I had some information on EmblemHealth/GHI approving WLS. My employer just signed on with them in January and I've called 3 times plus emailed to get info on approving the surgery. Only one rep confirmed the requirement for the 6mth physician supervised diet---all other communication stated that it must be approved with their pre-authorization dept. --no other details. It doesn't help that most people don't even realize that EmblemHealth is GHI.
Wish I had better info to share! Keep me posted if you find out anything else!
