UHC Choice Plus- Administaff no Morbid Obeasity Services
daniellep posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
Okay, I am so frustrated. Today I had a big let down. I called my insurance company's Bariatric Resource Center to find out that Morbid Obeasity surgey or programs were not covered under my benefits... This was a huge let down only after feeling euphoria on Wed. when my PCP said that he would refer to a bariatric surgeon and that I was a good candidate for the procedure... Can anyone help me? Please! This surgery is of most importance, but I just cannot afford to pay for it out of pocket. Danielle:ohmy: -
Hi Carla,
Things went well with my PCP. He says that he will refer me to a surgeon and he thinks that i am a good candidate. I am going to have a sleep study done within the next few weeks. That same week I called the BRS center and was awaiting a call back. Today I got a callback and found I that I do not have the mordbid obeasity services in my benefits.
A total bummer! I am in a loss for words. I want to go thru with the referral but I am unsure how far I am going to get... I really don't have the money to pay out of pocket but I can't forget about having my surgery either. IDK? -
Hi Carla, I will don't yet. I was waiting for my May 5th appt with my PCP.
I will def let you know how it goes! -
Hi Carla, Your news has given some encouragement. :crying: I hope I will be able to hear the same new soon. I toohave United Healthcare Choice Plus, but from what I read in my benefits coverage; I don't believe they would approve me. I haven't started my process yet because I was discouraged when I read that no surgeries were covered pertaining to obeasity. Are there any tips/information you could share with me on how you received an approval from them. Please share!!! Thanks Danielle
