    So I too have UHC. Just found out at the beginning of the month of having to contact optimu health. Missed the appoint with my case worker nurse so had fo reschedule the call with her. Her name is Felisha. Thursday have my 5th NUT appt n hopefully get the ball rolling with the other appts I needed. Nervous and anxious at the same time.... any advice to make it a smoother process for the approval?
