I have Aetna so it may not be the same, but I just told my PCP about all the past attempts I hade made using Weigh****chers, Slimfast, low carb, going to the gym etc. He put it all in the letter of recommendation. Plus he was the dr. that supervised my 6-month diet plan as well. Everything helps I think.
