I was denied today.. :blink: BAD NEWS!!!!

 

My UHC does cover the surgery with BMI OVER 40 with five year weight history. I had 4 BMI over 40 and one year at 35.5 (when I took diet pills.) I do have high blood pressure and Acid reflux but I was still denied. The doctor is going to write a letter stating this is medically needed and Lori is going to fax it to them tomorrow.

 

I am wondering if this will be enough...

I hope so that really gets to me we pay them so much money and if your not really a sick person never really go to the doctor and we have to go through loops to get our surgery approved i hope you get your approval and meet all the goals you set!!!Good luck

Thank you for the kind words. My surgeon sent in an appeal. I am waiting to hear what they say. I have sent off for the wording on my plan (just in case.) I'm going the Obesity Law if this doesn't work. With high blood pressure, type II diabeties, GERD, incontinence I know I would benefit from having this surgery. I hope UHC does the right thing..
