I've been reading a ton of posts on this site since I've begun my journey. I've gained a ton of knowledge ...you guys/gals are all amazing!! This is my first post. I've completed all of the pre-op requirements and my case has been submitted to my insurance for approval. I have GIC Unicare Idemnity in Mass through my employer. There isn't much info that I can find in wit members guide or on the internet about their approval process, stats, how long etc. I also read a ton of posts in this forum and haven't come across anyone who has this same insurance. My doctor has had patients in the past who have had this insurance. I am borderline 39/40 BMI, for co-mobs, my doctor is comfortable using my family history and putting the sleep ap test on layaway. I can't get a clear "what are the requirements" from the insurance co. I'm so anxious...Can someone offer me something to ease my mind? XOXO

Hi Tanyatata...I’m just starting my appts for a revision and I’m wondering if you were able to get approval from GIC Unicare. I have the same insurance and I’m trying to figure out the requirements.

They won't give them to you if you call? They really can't withhold that from you.....ask if you can get a copy of the policy

Hi Mainuhgrl68,

So I was never successful with getting formal requirements like other insurances and was finally able to find something online that said BMI >=40 or

Did you get approved? I have unicare indemnity also and will be submitting soon!

I literally got approved on Monday. I’m a medically required revision.
