United Health care Choice plus ???

[Calah 5]

I’m on buisness day number 10 of waiting for a answer from United health care choice plus. I called a few times but they just tell me it’s still in review. They said they have 15 buisness days to make a decision. Is this a bad sign? Does it usually take this long? I’m scared I will be denied!

I am still waiting as well. :( I’m getting nervous. Only because I want to get it before the end of the year. I do not want to start over with my deductible.

I’m so nervous as well!!!! I don’t see why they would deny it, but I’m scared that thy will. And with it taking so long.....I’m scared it will be. How long have you been waiting?

I have United Health Care and I had forgotten that my surgeon had submitted for my approval. I swear I think they took the full 15 days. I don't know how your dr office works, but mine knew already what I needed to be approved and we did all the requirements and made sure they were made to the insurance specs before submitting for approval.

My first visit with my surgeon was in September. The requirements I needed was the 6 month supervised weight management, which I already had from my primary care doctor. And a psych evaluation, which I did the same week. Plus the doctors office sent over 5 year medica history showing my BMI over a 40. Everything was sent over oct. 9th. I’m scared that they will deny it but I had everything they asked for.

My surgeon's office is submitting to UHC today. She said they usually get it back in about 5 days, but it could take up to 15. I'm super nervous because I was denied a year ago. But I've been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes since then and my BMI went over 40 (though I'm under now after my physician assisted diet). I'm just hoping it gets approved smoothly.

My approval ended up taking 8 days and my husbands took 10. We both submitted on the same day. Good luck to you! Waiting for approval is so nerve wrecking!
