JeweI LAP-BAND Patients March 2, 201016 yr Author stats It actually depends on if the company you work for has choosen to offer this to it's employees. I have uhc through my husbands job but his company is so small they opted out of this coverage. If by chance your company does offer it I believe you have a good chance. You may be able to get more info at myuhc.com. I am 28, my BMI was 43, and I have PCOS and was prediabetic. I qualified through my medicare. Some insurance companies require a 6 month doctor supervised diet before they will approve. Pick a surgeon and talk to his staff about it. Good luck.
