Question:
PROOVE IT !!! HAS YOUR INSURANCE EVER ASKED YOU TO ??

Did your insurance company ask for written proof or verification of the "Weight Loss Attempts" you listed in your DIET HISTORY. (Not the doctor supervised ones) For eg, if you listed Jenny Craig for x-months with a weight loss of x-pounds, will they ask for written verification of the dates and regular weighings from the CENTER??? As always, thanx guys for always helping me out. I REALLY APPREACIATE ALL YOUR HELP!!!!! xoxo,laura    — Laura R. (posted on May 13, 2003)

Nope they never asked, but I made sure I only put down the things I had really tried in case I was ever questioned. That way I knew about each program, how they worked, etc. Not to imply that was your meaning :>)

This is not part of the criteria my insurance company uses, so, no, I never had to prove it. My surgeon did have a huge list that I had to check off on all the different things I tried.

The only thing that my ins co wanted was written proof of the doctor superivsed weight loss attempts, so all I had to do was get my medical records and submit them to the ins co. They werent interested in my other weight loss attempts. Hope this helps!
