My UHC (BariatricPal Resource Services) had a time frame of 15 business days. That would have been this Thursday. It was a long 11 business days. I called several times to check status. Good luck with your approval! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm two months in to my required six NUT (UHC) appointments. BMI 40+ with all the co-morbids. All other req met. Hopefully approval will be quick when I finish NUT appointments in December and surgery in Feb/March. I was hopeful to get surgery done this year as deductible is met. 46 6'3" HW 411 CW 375 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
