Hi, I have united health care choice plus... Has anyone used this insurance? Please advise how good this insurance is if any one knows...thank you kindly

I have United Health Care Choice Plus- for my Lapband surgery that I had in August of 2010 I was approved 1st try. Where as, I just had a revision to the VSG on Aug 15th- and because it was a revision it was hell. Several appeals to denials. But if this you first surgery it should go pretty smoothly as long as they identify comorbidities. Hope that helps. I wish you luck in the future.

Wow, hopefully it does go through.... Thanks for the information

I wish you all the best!

So I spoke to my insurance and to HR and it is completely excluded from the policy....which sucks really bad! I am so sad....
