Hello I was wondering if anyone with UHC has ever gotten thru a policy exclusion for any weight lost surgery. I am sure I can show need, I am 6'4" and over 450 lbs, my BMI is over 54, I have borderline High Blood pressure, a family history of diabetis and heart problems., and an artificial hip. Tony

i do have problems and family history. I am 6'4" and 450 lbs, i have an artificial hip and im borderling diabetic, high blood pressure, my BMI is over 54. I know I more than meet the qualifications. My concern is if it is even possible to get an excluded medical procedure covered. Has anyone actually done this. I have UHC and my policy says WLS are Excluded.

Did your policy exclude any weight lose surgery, or did they just refuse you? My policy says its excluded.

Shelby, Did your policy say that they might cover, or did your paperwork say that it Excluded any weight lost procedure? I have United Healthcare and my policy actually Excludes any surgery or drug for weight lost. Just wondering what I should do, pursue it or not. I am 6'4" and over 450 lbs. my BMI is over 54
