Horizon BCBS PPO (NJ)

Does anyone have this, and were they recently denied for no "6 month supervised diet"?  I have called them and they told me that they DO NOT require this, just the "letter of necessity" from my PCP!!! I am going for Gastric Bypass.. Thanks.

I have never, to date, had to supply a 6 month diet for any of our patients with that specific insurance and they have all been approved. Tracy Burch Office Manager Insurance Specialist Dr. Trace Curry 513-559-1222 [email protected]

Hi Eileen, I also have BC/BS NJ Horizon(mine is direct access plan) and recently denied due to 5 year rule(bmi over 40 or 35/w co-morts).  I have a document with what BC/BS Horizon requires.  I will be happy to fax it to you if you email me.    My email address is [email protected] Keep your chin up!
