Hi there. I'm brand new. I'm feeling really horrible and helpless at the moment. From everything I've read online, UHC is normally good about covering weight loss surgery. However, I called and my specific plan does NOT cover it; in fact it is specifically written in that they don't. I'm pretty upset. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. I'm really afraid of what's going to happen to me if I can't get this surgery done.
I'm asking for help with a couple of things. First off, if you know of any alternatives to insurance, please let me know.
Also, my insurance company gave me a PO Box for "member appeals", and said I could send in documentation to support the fact that I NEED this surgery, and they could POSSIBLY cover it. Has anyone had to do this before, and did you have any luck?
Thank you so much.
