BCBS Federal Weight/BMI requirement for qualification of revision

Hi,

I went to my first doctor's appointment last Thursday, 7-13 and had my first Nutrition program appointment visit.

What weight/BMI does BCBS Federal require for your revision qualification?

• Your weight/BMI on your first visit to your WL surgeon seeking a revision

OR

• Your weight/BMI on the last day of your 90 days Nut program

I am going to call my dr. office on Monday and ask.

Thanks for replying!

Every insurance is different, so what anyone else have - may not be the same as your have.

You can call them or email and ask questions. Best to get thing in writing, since often what someone tells you on a phone is not correct. And getting things in writing - even email - gives you a record that you can use in case of dispute. Getting just verbal answer is not the same.

Today I called the doctor's office & told me they will turn in all my weight records when it's time for approval:

• My weight showing a diagnosis of morbid obesity for a period of 2 years prior to surgery.
• My weight on my first consultation date.
• My weight during my nutritional program on each visit.

I also called BCBS Federal and they helped me on line to get a copy of my medical policy which states all the requirements for a revision.

Yes, I'm a firm believer on, it's always a good thing to have something in writing to cover your behind, just in case.

Thanks for your response and advice.
