I have UHC and am just waiting to hear back from them. Doctors office submitted the medical necessity on 8-4-16. I had to have 6 months medical supervised weight loss, psych evaluation, join their resources program, and bmi of 40 or more unless I have 2 or more comorbity. I have type 2, blood pressure and borderline sleep apnea. Hope they can get this done so I can get my time scheduled off and my husband since he works for the railroad in Utah

I'm trying to get a revision procedure so I was initially denied due to not having 5 years 40 bmi. But my case is I had a procedure in place 5 years ago which explains why I only have 3 years. I'm praying my surgeon can overturn UHC's denial thru the peer to peer next week. It's giving me so much anxiety and depression right now

Is your annual deductible waived if you use a Center of Excellence facility and surgeon?

Did anyone gain weight during there 6 months of weight loss visits?

Sent from my iPad using BariatricPal

I did

But I've always found it super hard not to fluctuate at least 5lbs. Depending on what time of day, or what time of month, if I've gone to the bathroom...I mean, how is it possible to be exactly the same? (Rhetorical)

Anyway, I have, but I've also had to find a new surgeon midway through. My Optum nurse said it didn't matter with my insurance. In some paperwork from my new surgeon it says not to, but that's just not possible for me and it's not required by my insurance.
