• Contact information – lists of phone no.s, addresses and names of everyone involved with WLS. I am including maps to office locations as well in this section.
• Dr.’s Instructions – any rules, instructions, etc… should be here
• Insurance Information – a copy of the insurance policy by-line for Morbid Obesity and policy outline
• Requirements or Medical Records – place results from each ordered test here. I may break it out into each test having it’s own divider depending on the information gathered from center
• Mandatory Diet History – keep everything related to the mandatory diet for insurance purposes.
• General Information – keep miscellaneous items here just to have them.

**I also obtained a copy of my folder with the PCP including all chart notes.

I presented a folder complete with tabs to my Surgeons office and they said that having this organized the way I did made it very easy for them to put together the package for my insurance. If you surgeon requires you to get your info together (even if he/she doesn’t) KEEP A COPY OF EVERYTHING. You never know when it might come in handy.
