I had surgery under UHC choice plus and I'm not sure about the 5 years of records but my BMI was 42 and I was approved fairly quickly! Don't forget the holidays can cause them to focus on authorizations that are "rushed" as they might be short staffed! You can call and check the status and see if they will tell you when it was received or what's going on! From my understanding since my BMI was over 40 they approved it.

Omg girl you look amazing!! You are built so much like I am and close starting weight! I started at 298 and currently 281 having surgery in 8 days!! Inspiration for sure!! I’m 5’5 and my doctor gave me a goal of no less than 175 because of how I carry my weight I guess!! You look soooooo good!

Have you had your surgery yet?? I have united healthcare community plan as well! Waiting on my approval now!

I also have UHC and I’m in Texas!! My paperwork was sent off this morning for prior authorization! I’m in Houston and having surgery with TLC surgeons!! I’m so glad I found your post! It says they can take 15 days to approve or deny!! I’m hoping I will hear something next week sometime!!

My information was sent to UHC Star plan here in Texas today! I was looking for the same information!! I will comment back when I get an answer though!

I am in Houston and I switched to United Healthcare Star Medicaid plan because it is covered and TLC surgery was accepting that insurance! I have finished the 6 months of weight management classes and my authorization was sent for approval this morning! Hoping to get a call soon!! Hope you figured it all out by now!
