My cousin has gastric bypass surgery, and to get insurance to pay she had to go through 6 months of "medically treated weightloss", whatever that is, and had to write a long letter on why she felt she needed the surgery. She had to go see a phychiatrist for a evaluation, had to get a pap smear, and all kinds of other stuff. I checked with my insurance, and it covers bypass surgery. It just has to be pre-certified. Which any surgery I may have has to be precertified. So I was wondering since my insurance will pay, will I have to go through that long process too?
