My paperwork also went in and I understand UHC has up to 15 business days to review and either approve or deny. I did everything they asked so hope its a fast approval for both of us!

Praying it's smooth sailing from here on!

If you've met the requirements it's gonna go through!! I'm full of positive thoughts for both of you!!

I was approved!

Congratulations! That was fast!

I spoke to my surgery coordinator today and she's sure I'll be approved but I'll wait to Celebrate when UHC says OK! She did go ahead and schedule my pre-surgical screening for April 30, and she usually doesn't do this until they have the approval. Still crossing fingers...

You and I have same starting weight and goal weight so we'll have to stay in touch and cheer each other on!

wow that's fast///congrats

My paperwork has been in for a week and when I called, they reminded me that they can take up to 15 business days. I can't schedule surgery without approval and every day drags by...

Does longer time increase the odds of a denial? I did everything they asked so thought it would be a quick slam dunk. Sigh

I have to wait till June before they submit my paper work so y'all r very lucky!!! Congrates I've went thru my 6 months process and met every requirement I'm hoping for a good out come also .. Good luck everyone !!

Mine went in on Monday and I have called twice!! Heeheee I just can't stand it and told me Again that's a 15 day process!! (Roll my eyes)!

No, a longer time doesn't mean anything other than "the pre-cert department has a lot of work to do"
