Any one with United Health Care insurance



Recommended Posts

Hi Royals. No not yet, I saw my surgeon yesterday gave me what I need to take to my primary. I need Dr. Clearance & physiologist clearance, EKG & labs. After this they submitted to insurance. Nervous because I don't have any sick time at work and I have so many Dr. Appointments. But more then half way. Thanks

I have UHC.... 6 months medically supervised diet is required. They only pay for 5 with a nutritionist. I am still trying to find out if they will pay for a TT after its over.

I have uhc and was so stressed about them approving before six months but they did. I did meet the qualifications for the bmi and two co-morbidities. It took exactly two weeks to come back with an approval and I am so relieved now I think the nervousness is beginning to settle in. My advice. Be patient but stay on time of your requirements and if you are working with a CEnter of Excellence you should be good otherwise. Best of luck. I've been stalking this forum for months and finally ready to share

I have united healthcare. It only required me to have a BMI of 40 or more (no co morbidity required). See the nutritionist & psychologist twice. No six month diet, no 5 year weight history. Once all paperwork was submitted, it look 10 days for a response. It was pretty easy & fast. It took about 6-8 weeks from start to surgery date.

I called uhc and they said they don't show any files for me... So I called my coordinator and she said that the reps can not see out files that a nurse would have it ... But i remember when I went through this last time I was able to check my status.... So guess ill call my coordinator in the AM.....

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
