United Health Care and 6 month requirement of diet and exercise
solimama posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
UHC has a 6 month diet and exercise requirement that must be supervised by a physician. I have already been doing weight watchers over 3 months now and working out, but today was my first doctor visit. Does anyone know if I can use the last 3 months towards my 6 months? I really had hopes I could schedule my surgery in 3 months. -

thanks.. -
hi everyone . I live in Central Florida and have been researching bariatric surgeons. I've seen really great reviews about dr. Merima in St Augustine.. the surgeons here in Orlando makes me a bit nervous.. any input on any of the docs in Orlando or Dr Miramar would be great.
