I have United Health Care through my husband's company, I called and talked to a representative who told me they covered the sleeve. Now they say no we will cover bypass but not the sleeve and the doc's office called me to tell me that if my husband could go to his human resources person maybe I could get that approved. Yes go talk to a man who does NO work whatsoever, never returns calls and never does much work unless he might lose his job otherwise. Then they told me if my doctor writes a letter stating I've been on a weight loss program with her for over 6 months and that goes to insurance plus my husband goes to his HR person then we'll have that one taken care of too. All dedictibles are paid up for this year because my daughter had a baby in February so that took care of most family ded. and mine are paid because of my bad health. But if I have to wait 6 months that starts over new deductibles and will cost more, all must be paid upfront. I was really upbeat when my neurosurgeon discussed this surgery with me, now all of this is getting me down. Any suggestions ????
