I was shocked that it was covered. Our representative stated that with the effects of morbid obesity, it's less expensive to accept coverage for the band than to have to treat a stroke, diabetes, joint problems, etc, etc.
I have UHC choice plus and I'm covered at 90%. I just have to find out how Dr. Virginia Weaver in Memphis, TN will make arrangements for the 10%. You may want to call UHC. again for a second opinion.
