Switching Insurance
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.
