United health care choice plus

Hey everyone Im looking into getting the lap band done but my insurance papers specifically state the obesity related surgeries are excluded from our plan. My question is if anyone has had uhc choice plus and if they appealed them and won. My bmi is 45.6 so I'm considered morbidly obese. Any help will b appreciated thanks! :-)

    It depends on where you work. I have UHC Choice Plus and they covered, but my mom has the same insurance at a different place and they don't cover it at all. Chances are if obesity surgeries are excluded, it won't be covered. Sorry for bad news. I really hope I'm wrong.

    I agree, I have United Health Care Chocie plus and I was covered at 100%.. But is depends on where you are and your Employer.
