They have historically been very good and they approve fairly quickly but recently they have become a little more difficult. They do require that you have a 6 month physician supervised diet with monthly visits, documented exercise and some documentation of counselling by the physician on behavioral changes. They also want to see results with the program - if you gain weight or stay the same, they have not counted the program.

Please make sure that you documented the necessary data ( diet plan, exercise routine, weight loss outcome, behavioral modification counseling) in your medical chart on monthly basis for 6 months within the last 2 years. They also recommend that you are participating in an active medically supervised program. If you have further question, please feel free to call my office at 304-388-4965 or Toll free 866-788-4965 for further assistance.
