Can smart lipo be approved by insurance if you are diagnosed with high cholesterol? (Photo)

May 23, 2015
Asked By:Audrey1961

My dr have suggested weight loss options due to my high cholesterol. I've tried to loose the weight BUT it has settled in my mid section. It has been suggested that the cholesterol levels will get better if I loose about 20 or more pounds. I had a consultation with my dr. I was told to find out from my insurance (UHC) what was needed and she would provide. But it seems that my dr did not document the weight loss & lipo consult; therefore insurance denied due to no supporting documentation.
