insurance coverage?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I'm somewhat new to the world of private practice and very new to

dealing with insurance companies. So I called to make sure that my

services would be covered (CIGNA) and was told that it depends on

medical necessity. Essentially the client is interested in wt loss

(which by itself is not covered), but it's 2ndary to correcting

thyroid issues. So we will obviously be covering some on diet and

thyroid. But I'm concerned about submitting and having the claim

rejected. 'Medically necessary' seems very subjective.

Thoughts? Experiences?

Thanks,

Cheryl
