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.....

When you call UHC, say "prior authroization" at the beginning of the phone call and they will route you to the people who will know. If they're still not able to tell you anything, ask for a nurse coordinator.

Got approved today yesss so happy & nervous

Congrats!!!!! I know the feeling well! I bounce between feeling nervous and anxious. Lol. I was approved the same day my paperwork was submitted--March 29th. Just got my surgery date scheduled yesterday! Reality is creeping up on me! ;) Good luck!

Hey everybody! I have UHC. My coordinator should have submitted everything yesterday. I emailed her and asked if she did, no answser back yet. So I am in limbo I guess. I didn't think about calling UHC and seeing if they have it. I will have to give it a try!

One more week finally to see if I'm aproved

Hey everybody, I'm new to all this. I have United Health Care but don't know what my requirements are yet. I've been researching bariatric procedures for over 10 years & have seen all kinds of results. I'm praying to make it to the "approval round" this time around.

I have UH.. I'm a bit stressed as I just got aletter from them with their payout info.. and they are saying I owe 10,000 because the surgery was not approved.. My doctor said it was, and when I called a while back the lady said I was..

I am really praying that this is some sort of error.

I am just starting the process with UHC. They are telling me I need the 6 month supervised diet. I've had my consultation and first nutritionist meeting. A lady from my surgeon's office told me to call and request a case manager at UHC or something. I have 5 years established history with my PCP of BMI over 40. She thinks with that I can get it down to 3 months MWM. WIsh me luck!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
