i have uhc with the city of memphis, I was told all I need was the five year weight record and a letter from my doctor. The surg required me to do the psych and nult eval. My paperwork was summitted friday and I like you am stressed out trying to make sure they get it and dont sit on the pre approval ( or denial). I called today to the ins company and she told me it could take up to 30 days. But everyone that has it at the dr office says they get a fast response from uhc. I am given it till friday and calling the ins comp agian on friday to make sure they have everything. I have a control issue and hate that its not in my hands. I promise if I could take the paperwork down in person hand it to them and wait I would . its sad I know! :crying:

Well I had my first visit with Dr Woodmans Office yesturday I had to watch this boring video and go over what else I need before we send in to the ins comp. for approval. I thought I would have at least got to meet the Dr. But I only saw him on the video. My hisband and friend have both worked with him at Methodist Germantown but I think it would make a better impact if he meet his patient on the first visit I myself would rather ask him about any concern then his staff before I putting all this time into it if I had doughts. Anyways It went good alls my ins request is medical record ( which i took with me), a letter from my dr (which was faxed to them while I was there) the pshch and nutr. eval.:scared2: I have psych set up for wed. 4/8 but I am having a hard time finding the nutr. assessment. Anyone know of one in memphis or around the area that I can get into fast. I set up a appt with Dr Rice's office to find out once I got there that she did not do the assessment for psych because she was only a social worker and the Dr in the office that did it did not take my ins. :thumbup: I was so mad I asked every question and told them what I need when I mad the appt. So I went home and just started calling everyone on my ins list till I found Dr Amos. :cool2: He said he does this assessment for about all Dr woodmans pts. And I got a appt. for right away not weeks down the road. He spoke to me and set the appt up himself and email me all the 26 pages of paper work you fill out to do before the appt. which I thought was great. I hate sitting in a office filling out paperwork. He also told me he would have it to Dr woodman on that monday following my appt. I hope to find a nutr. soon my goal is to have everything I need to get sent off by 4/13. MY b-days in May and that would be the best b-day present ever to be able to have a date.. better yet have it done.... :tt2:

Hey everyone! I just took my first step in this long journey. I went to the seminar at Baptist Memphis for Dr Woodman. My hubby and BF worked with him @ Methodist Germantown and say his is a Great Surgeon. My First office visit is 4/7. I have all my medical record and am setting up the phych and nutritional now. I call my ins. UHC they say it’s covered if medically Ness. I have a select plus ppo plan. Dr Woodman’s office said UHC does not make you do the 6 month sup. Diet. I have been on and off diet pills before and I would lose maybe 10 pounds in the first month and nothing else. It would keep me up for days until my body said STOP GET SOME SLEEP!!! Once I stopped taking them I would put the pound plus some back on. Anyways I am right at the 40 bmi and that worries me. I keep thing they might say I am borderline. I think I have some co health problems. I am insulin resistant, PCOS, I have anxiety/ depression ( like everyone who is over weight). Reflux and have to take meds for that. This past year my B/P has been up and down. sometime normal other time high. My good cholesterol is low but my bad is ok and my total is ok, oh and on top of it I have a small goiter and "borderline" hypothyroidism. I love how Dr's tell you, you are BORDERLINE on everything. I guess will see in a couple of weeks. I would like to know if anyone else has this ins. plan or works for the city of Memphis. Thanks :cursing:
