I can't wait til the day I go out in public in a swimsuit

They will deny you without the weight history, its another way that they get over they know a lot of obese people do not go to the Dr. If you have your OB-GYN records they will take them, But I had the same problems and Had to contact emergency room hospitals, and my OB-GYN office to get the records

From what I know about the plan Aetna requires the 6 months supervised diet in other to get approved. so it looks like your Dr. is right

Why are they denied your claim I thought that UHC was the easiest insurance company to deal with.

sorry to tell you but you must complete one of them and you cannot miss a month and than pick up the following month. they will make you start all over again. but it is so worth it.

Just found out today that my UHC Choice Plus Texas the only requirements is 5 year weight history and Dr. recommendation and I have both of those, so it's look like I am on my way to a more healther me. Good Luck to everyone here. (crossing my fingers hoping everything work out)
