Has anybody been approved this year through UHC without having a 5 year history with a BMI of 35 or higher?

I called my insurance 3 times to make sure this was not required for me, because I do not have 5 years of history because I have not been to the Dr. every year the last five years, and they said no I did not need a 5 year history for approval. Well when my Dr's office called my insurace this morning to fax in my paperwork they said they need it! Grr. I am so frustrated right now.

I have UHC and did not have to have any history. Maybe its written into the contract they made with your company. Each policy is individual based on the agreement between them.

Yes, I was approved without a 5 year history and a BMI of 40%. Good luck.
