Disclaimer I worked medical billing and Insurance Accounts Receivable previously and now I am an RN: I researched all of the requirements of my health insurance plan with UHC. I obtains all of the proof of my 6 months of supervised diet with my PCP that I had been actually doing for 1 year. I wrote my OWN letter of Medical Necessity with my Health info and my Family Medical History. Did my Psych eval and Required Dietician. They sent for approval on 9/25 and I was APPROVED today the first time around. Not bad considering I first went to my surgeon's Seminar on 9/11/13 Surgery set for 10/17/13. I got my email while doing registration for my Labs, Chest Xray and EKG today. I am so excited. Next Friday is my Pre Op visit/weigh in hoping my scale stops the jerk around it's been doing.

That's great! I did the same things pretty much. Kept in control of what was needed for approval and helped the surgeon's office to push everything through to my insurance company.

It's Amazing!!

wonderful news. congrats to you!
