Insurance Pre Approval question
Hi Guys
I am getting ready for my third weigh in for my 6 month supervised diet. This visit will be the end of the 2nd month and start of the 3rd month.
I have already had my pysch exam also.
My advocate with the program that I am going through told me that after the 3rd visit (scheduled 2/15) that the information would be sent into the insurance for pre-approval in which the insurance would approve or disapprove at that point. If they approve all we would have to do is send in the info that I finished the diet and everything would be approved at that point.
Has anyone heard anything about this.

HI,
That seems strange to me. Normally they want to see the completed 6 month supervised physician supervised diet. Who is your insurance with? I have Aetna. My info was turned in before my supervised diet was done and I was denied. I had to appeal AFTER I finished the program! I would double check with your insuance company because I have a feeling you need to complete the 6 months before submitting for approval.

I know that this does not help your question too much considering that every insurance provider is different, but I want to greatly thank you for your question. It caused me to look at my own requirements and I realized that while I thought I had 1 more visit left with my primary I am actually DONE with my 6 months. This allowed to me to reschedule my remaining required appts from the 7th to next Tuesday!!!! You just gave me 3 weeks 
That all said, when I called my insurance to confirm everything they did say that everything needed to be complete before it is all faxed to them for approval (BCBS of MN).

Awesome...
I think I will be in the same boat. As I have been thinking about the timing of this diet.
I was told during my first visit and weigh in on 12/14/11 that I was on target for a surgery date towards the end of May or the first of June. If you calculate 180 days (or 6 full months) it would equate to 6/12/12/ So I am wondering if I have 6 visits or weigh ins or is it 6 full months.
The Surgeon yesterday told me that I am half way through the diet with my 3rd weigh in. But when you look at it I am just now starting the third month.
Good Luck
