I was told by my patient advocate that they sent in my paperwork to United Health Care on April 16th. I called UHC on Monday the 20th to make sure they received it. They said they received it on the 17th and it was "under review" they said it might be ready today the 22nd. Well I have been calling twice a day, and it is still "under review" I call in the morning and I call in the afternoon. Is that too much??? I just can't stand to wait!!! I just need to know yes or no!!! Of course I am hoping for a yes. I will post as soon as I know something. Send the positive approval vibes my way!!!!

I kow it's tough waiting I called UHC a couple times and didn't really get any answers except it was under review until my Dr's office called me and said that they had approval. I saw a lot of post where people said their UHC approval was done in hours or days mine took 3 weeks.

Its only too much if you keep calling after they approve you

I mean, I wouldn't call them every 5 minutes, but they said it might be ready today - nothing wrong with calling them to find out - and once a day every day till you do get the answer :laugh:

I say if they know you by voice alone.....or if your call always go directly to voicemail then maybe you called too much.....but I agree if you don't stay on top of it who is going to?

I swear the waiting is one of the hardest parts!!!

I just found out that I was approved!:thumbup:

My surgery is scheduled for MAY 19. I am soooooo excited!!!! and now a little nervous.

Okay, now at this point and time, I would recommend ceasing the calls to the insurance company... lol :crying:
