:hippie: Poodles I may be joining ya soon. I called the insurance co today and they told me yesterday they requested the provider to give the name of the facility that would be used. Don't know how that got left off. So it makes me think they are leaning towards approving!!!!!! M

Hi Lynn,

Congrats to you too. I had UHC and it didn't cover it. I was self pay. Best of luck to you.

Hi Lynn,

I too had UHC and they didn't cover it either. We actually changed insurance companies at the first of the year and WLS was covered. Hang in there an don't give up!
