UHC

Paperwork submitted Dec. 7th.. My surgeon is Jonathan Taylor in Baton Rouge, la.. I can't get an appt to schedule surgery until I'm approved. I call every three days and I'm still pending. I was told by UHC coordinator because I don't have a surgery date could be the reason for the delay along with the holidays... Not a good feeling... This waiting game is driving me crazy

Hi I am also in Baton Rouge, My surgeon was Karl Leblanc, at OLOL, I also have UHC. It took about 3 weeks for them to approve me, the first time they declined it but it was a clause in our policy my husband. He had to be working for the company for two years, it is a policy with the company, and my surgeon's nurse said she never heard of that. Then two years to the date we resent it and about three weeks later they approved it. I actually got my approval letter before my dr's office did. Good luck to you it is coming, my surgeon's office told me they are slower than a lot of the other companies, so i was well prepared to wait. My aunt's surgeon was Dr. Taylor he is so sweet, and she is doing great it has been a year out for and she loves him. I wish you luck.
