Talked with the insurance company..

Ok, so I talked with my case manager at the insurance company today(actually somebody who is filling in for her since she is out of the office today), and what they are telling me is they require 6 months of documented, medically supervised dieting. They also need documentation that my weight condition isn't related to thyroid or other conditions, which will be easy enough to submit.

I have been meeting with my current primary care provider since December of 2005 regarding many things, my weight being one of them. I've visited regularly, weighing in at each visit, etc, so, hopefully that will serve as 6-months+ of medically supervised dieting. The only thing that concerns me is that the visits were not officially structured around my weight. I suppose I will find out soon enough. I'm going to go visit my doctor next week when I get back from my Canada trip.

We'll see. I definitely hope I don't have to wait 6-months to do this. I doubt I will have to, I tend to be pretty forward(and good) about getting my way when I know that I am right.

Anyway, tonight I leave for Canada, Eh! I'm just going to forget about this crap for 5 days and worry about it when I get back after the 4th of July weekend.
