I have UHC and they are telling me the bariatric surgery is excluded from my policy. Is there any hope in trying to submit it and appeal it or am I out of luck. My PCP tells me there is no reason for me to be denied because of my weight and health history. Just wondering if anyone else has been down this road..
That is wonderful news! I went to his seminar last summer. My mom was approved by insurance and Dr. Kim did her surgery on 8/19/07. She has done very well and we go to his support groups every month. My insurance has excluded the surgery so it looks like I am going to have to self pay. What follow-up care is included with the self pay?
