Fitness requirements prior to surgery

Does any know if Aetna required a documented record of exercise? I have heard that some insurance companies require a record of exercise from a gym. Shellie

Shellie, Yes Aetna requires deocumentation of exercise, but if your doing the Living Well classes, that is part of the deal.........you either do them at a gym or at home(I did mine at home, I live 1 1/2 hours from OSU). Did you met with Kelly yet at the Living Well center and did she do her evaluation on you and give you things to do, like stretching/working out??? Also on your menus that you turn in every week you have to list at the bottom, each day what exercise you did and all that happy crap......this is all Aetna needs to show your doing exercise!! Hope this helps! Tabitha

Also remember Aetna requires you to loose 3-5% of your weight going to these Living Well classes.....wait on the Psych eval, I guess they were going to have a meeting on the 29th about Aetna not being taken at Dr. Kramers office and people have to shell out $415 up front. I would call Shannon tomorrow and ask her what she found out about that, then have her make your appointment!! Good luck in your journey, Tabitha(waiting approval)
