  1. Okay, I am so frustrated. Today I had a big let down. I called my insurance company's Bariatric Resource Center to find out that Morbid Obeasity surgey or programs were not covered under my benefits... This was a huge let down only after feeling euphoria on Wed. when my PCP said that he would refer to a bariatric surgeon and that I was a good candidate for the procedure... Can anyone help me? Please! This surgery is of most importance, but I just cannot afford to pay for it out of pocket. Danielle:ohmy:
  2. Hi Carla,

    Things went well with my PCP. He says that he will refer me to a surgeon and he thinks that i am a good candidate. I am going to have a sleep study done within the next few weeks. That same week I called the BRS center and was awaiting a call back. Today I got a callback and found I that I do not have the mordbid obeasity services in my benefits. :( A total bummer! I am in a loss for words. I want to go thru with the referral but I am unsure how far I am going to get... I really don't have the money to pay out of pocket but I can't forget about having my surgery either. IDK?

  3. I hope things went well for you today, I remember going to UHC website and looked under other services and that's where the BRS was. Carla

    yay, UHC Choice plus approved me

    Hi Carla, Your news has given some encouragement. :crying: I hope I will be able to hear the same new soon. I toohave United Healthcare Choice Plus, but from what I read in my benefits coverage; I don't believe they would approve me. I haven't started my process yet because I was discouraged when I read that no surgeries were covered pertaining to obeasity. Are there any tips/information you could share with me on how you received an approval from them. Please share!!! Thanks Danielle
