Currently I have Indiana Medicaid.  I have 3 months down for the 6 month requirement of seeing my dr and nutritionist.  I planned to have RNY at the end of the year.  Here's the question...what will happen to my 3 months if I switch insurance?  I can get bc/bs of texas in october.  Will I have to start over with my dr visits?  How long is the waiting period before bc/bs of texas approves surgery?  Any bad stuff I should know about BC/BS of Texas?  Thanks for your help.

It all depends on BCBS of TX requirements. If the requirements are the same for the 6 mo clinically supervised weight reduction program then your three months should count. Make sure your new insurance does not have any exclutions. 

I don't have BCBS of TX but I found this link online. Also not to say this would be your policy info.

you have to be very careful.  I was told that if you start your six months with one insurer then switch insurance, you can be denied as they will call your obesity an "existing condition"
