Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I did not respond as I didn't get the email in time. I was thinking maybe they were talking more specifically about the mandatory 6-12 months of supervised dieting insurance co. require. We frequently get denials b/c the PCP didn't doc. enough information regarding dieting. --- You wrote: I am curious, Has anyone responded to the ABC news posting. What are your thoughts and feelings.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I did respond, but there are alot of questions I had and raised in my response based on missing information/questions in the abstract. Why the drop out rate (were they successful with truly medical weight loss vs MD prescribed fad), were ther drop outs included in the 1 year follow up,... I also stated that I believe that all patients should have participation in a quality weight management program and that insurance should be paying? (I qualifie what quality means- to me) > I am curious, Has anyone responded to the ABC news posting. What are > your thoughts and feelings. This report seems to be directed to all of > us as group.
