I had to do mines with my bra off. They said the underwire would affect the test. My technician was a female.

I also have UHC. My UHC nurse told me I had to have 6 consecutive nutritional visits but I could go back 2 prior years and use those appointments:) I am going to use my personal doctor.

I'm glad I found this forum. I have UHC as well. I just scheduled my 1st appointment with the surgeon after have registered and done my 1st phone call with the Case Manager Nurse from UHC.
Anyone in the Tampa FL area?

I’m in pompano and have UHC choice plus. I’m still awaiting to hear from the case manager nurse

But are you already scheduled to receive the phone call? When I called to UHC they asked basic questions in order to know if I was or not a candidate for the Weight loss program and during the same call the representative scheduled my phone call with Nurse for 3 weeks later.

When I called they told me someone will call me...I’m gonna call back tomorrow bc it’s been a week

Did you call them?

HI, just my experience. I have UHC-Choice. MY dr's office thought I had to do the physc eval/sleep anea/6 months blah blah blah but after I got clearance from my primary I asked them to please submit. They did not want to but did- approved.

[newlife87 7]

I called them and I basically wasting a week getting no where! After speaking with them yesterday I found out that I needed to go through accolade and they will be sending a referral to optum. So we begun that process.

At least you were able to finally start the process.

Thanks for the information I was advised today by a UHC rep in addition to all you mentioned I would also need to provide UHC with a minimum of 5 years worth of morbid obesity diagnosis from my physician and that my plan only covers 70% after meeting my deductible. It has me feeling realllllly down because getting the surgery out of the country would be a cheaper out of pocket for me but what makes me pause on that is my physician is not on board with me getting the sleeve outside of the United States so I will do all I can to get it approved and If i don't get approved I will look into getting the surgery outside of the U.S.

[newlife87 7]

Remain positive. I got my approval about 3 weeks ago and had my surgery on 10/23 I’m in tons of pain but taking it one day at a time
