What's your bmi and comorbs? Do you have H M O or PPO? A lot will depend on those factors as well. I am currently appealing my surgery denial with UHC and I have an H M O. I wish you the best of luck! Keep us posted! :D

Crossing my fingers for you. Hope you meet their requirements.

Well actually the hospital portion is Empire Bc Bs Uhc is dr's I have osteoarthritis and severe arthritis back legs and just dx hypertension and borderline diabetic cholestral is high and I have 39 bmi..........So praying I need this so so bad so stressed!

Ty for all the well wishes

Good luck! I have UHC, the consumer driven plan. More like a PPO. I received my approval within two weeks of submission. Fingers crossed for you.

Good luck to you! Let us know how it goes!! :D

It is a crap shoot with UHC. I sailed right through approval as did my co-worker. My wife had to jump through hoops but finally did get approved 9 months later. The strange thing is she had great documentation and years documented tries at weight loss. Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones. Worse case scenario, you play the game for a few months and re-submit. Good luck!
