|  Are high triclicerides a comobidity?
My triglycerides are 633...they are supposed to be around 150...does this count as a comobidity?

If it's designated in your insurance policy, it will be.

Your doctor would have to diagnose you with Hyperlipidemia (I think), just having high levels isn't enough.

It was for me, but I was at least twice what your level is. Now it's 67 and I don't have to take meds for it any more!

My level tested at 480, and in the referral letter to the insurance company, my doctor listed hyperlipidemia as one of my co-morbidities. I had no idea what that meant, so I looked it up. It was one of the co-morbidities that my insurance is loooking for, so I guess thats good. Well, not good for my health, but good for my approval from the insurance.
