Question:
Will DR visits affect insurance approval?

I have been researching about everything and I have read about many conditions that are considered co-morbid. i have already had my initial health risk eval. and im scheduled for surgeon consult in june. if i see doctors for some of these conditions now will it affect my ins approval (or denial) in any way (pos or neg)?    — leigh M.

If you have co-morbid(s) and are seeing a dr., this can only help you get approval (assuming your policy and employer cover WLS in the first place). It's the people that are relatively healthy that have trouble prooving the surgery will help them. On the other hand, if your co-morbids are very bad, your recovery can be harder. I'm not saying it will, but overall bad health and major surgery can present a long recovery. Good Luck.
