Iv head stories of PCP's not doing it the way the insurance company wanted it. Bad handwriting. Those people had to do it all over again. I don't mean to scare you just make sure that who ever it is that is supervising your 6 months has done this thing before. Make sure they know exactly what your insurance requires. I'm not taking any chances. I'm paying the extra 150 for the dietitian to monitor mine at the hospital where I'll be having my surgery. She works with all their other bariatric patients so she is experienced in dealing with the insurance companies.
