UHCers - Where do I find this?



Recommended Posts

My surgeons office submitted my preapproval request two days ago. I keep getting on the uhc website, myuhc.com, to see if it will show me they are looking at it or have even received it and am not able to find anything. I am not very familiar with that site and want to know what section I should be looking in. Maybe I am missing it?

I have UHC - I never saw anything on their website before I was approved. It took about 2-3 weeks, but they did approve me and paid for everything (except the deductable) without any problems.

There is nothing on the website. The best thing is to call every couple of days. I was approved in 4 days. My best friend was able to find out if they didn't have something they needed before the drs office my calling so often. It still took her 2-3 months for approval with the same insurance, but different employer.

Good luck.

It took uhc 3 weeks to actually recieve the fax from my doctor. I called them about every few days in the past few weeks, got transferred so many times, it was very frustrating!! Finally I found out yesterday they recieved the fax, so now I am waiting for approval. I am going to call them again at the end of the week. Word of advice, everytime you call write down the day time who you talked to and number you called, I didn't do that until the last couple calls, it would have been helpful because everyone was telling me something different.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
