I realize everyone has different situations but I have UHC community plan in Ohio. I have just completed all my prerequisites for submission for approval The included:

6 months nutrition classes

Cardiac clearance

Pulmonary function tests

Pulmonary clearance

Psychological clearance

sleep study

Nutritionist clearance

sleep specialist clearance -proof of CPAP compliance

Recommendation of primary care doctor

I have met with the surgeon and had my one on one for post surgical nutrition

Had blood work for Pylori H , Thyroid and a random drug screen

My psych clearance is to be to my doctors by Monday. Then we can submit to insurance. I am wondering is there a set amount of time they have approve or deny. I have many co-morbs of sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, diabetes and depression and a BMI of 52.6 as my documented weight for insurance purposes.

I am wondering if there is an allotted amount of time that they have to approve or deny and what everyones luck has been.. why denied eTC?

I have United Healthcare as well and it took about a week for them to review it. It usually just depends on how busy they are. Give that you posted this on 4.22.16 I'm assuming they got back to you?
