My surgeons office is submitting my paperwork today....hopefully UHC will give approval fast

I have BCBS-Federal and my approval took 6 business days! I've read on here that people have gotten theirs in 3 days. I am assuming that since my BMI was less than 40, mine took a little longer. Either way, I'm happy I got it. I pray that your's comes back fast! Best of luck to you!

good luck! i was on the other side of the spectrum. mine took 5 weeks! good luck and hopefully you'll have a speedy approval!

I'm hoping it's quick my bmi is way over 40 so that shouldn't be a factor.....but I'm nervous they will deny it

I have UHC and got approved on first round. Received approval with no pre op diet in a week ..I guess they saw all my efforts on my previous dr supervised diets and trealized that diets don't work for me since I have yoyo'd for years.

Wishing you good luck ..I am sure it will all work out.

_{My doctor submitted my paperwork on 4/23 and I had approval on 4/29! I have UHC.}

My paperwork was submitted to UHC on the 1st of May. So I am in the same boat as you. Please keep us updated on the process.

I have UHC and was approved in a week. They told me that it could take up to 15 business days though. Of course I did call them everyday.

I guess I am more anxious, because the dr said he was not going to make me wait as soon as I get approval, I will be having surgery within 3 weeks. Any only that long, because I have to take 2 pre surgical classes.
