Kelliann, I have BC BS PPO INDIANA. They required me to have a supervised weight loss for the "Last" 18 months.My family Dr supplied that info, But, I would just submit what info you have,explain your prior records being destroyed. It helps if you put in your own words what diets and pills you have tried in the past.My Dr just wrote down "LOW FAT" Diets, diet pills,water pills, and recommended exercise. Surely that would be enough. Good Luck..Nancy Poe

I have the same insurance as you in Florida they require the dr supervised diets I had 14 years of medical records proving the my dr had me on a diet for my diabetes at this time because I did not go every month to weigh in --they rejected it I am fighting them--they change the rules all the time
