Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center

 The 1st  step I did was called my insurance company and see what was covered.  I qualified for all of it except for seeing my DR once a month for 6 months of supervised visits. Have any of you had this requirement?

The Representative on the phone let me know that Legacy was one of the highest approved facilty of thier company and that place would benefit me most.  So.. what do I do now? Contact legacy? I made an appointment with my primary Dr here in the next week. To start the 6 months supervised visits. But I was wondering if we can pass that with a one of the surgical physicians request?

Any suggestions?

Insurance company is Blue Cross Blue shield of Minnesota.

I had my RNY surgery almost a year ago at another facility in another state. I was looking at Legacy for post-op support and in case of problems after I moved to Portland.

I'm not sure what Legacy requires but I would definately contact them first. In my surgery state I was not required to do the 6 month diet and from initial consultation to surgery was only less than 3 month. My insurance was Blue Cross of California.
