I realize everyone has different situations but I have UHC community plan in Ohio. I have just completed all my prerequisites for submission for approval The included:
6 months nutrition classes
Cardiac clearance
Pulmonary function tests
Pulmonary clearance
Psychological clearance
sleep study
Nutritionist clearance
sleep specialist clearance -proof of CPAP compliance
Recommendation of primary care doctor
I have met with the surgeon and had my one on one for post surgical nutrition
Had blood work for Pylori H , Thyroid and a random drug screen
My psych clearance is to be to my doctors by Monday. Then we can submit to insurance. I am wondering is there a set amount of time they have approve or deny. I have many co-morbs of sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, diabetes and depression and a BMI of 52.6 as my documented weight for insurance purposes.
I am wondering if there is an allotted amount of time that they have to approve or deny and what everyones luck has been.. why denied eTC?
