United Health Care requirements?

[toyrenee 0]

Can anyone tell me if they had the same requirements as me for United Health Care and what was your experience as far as approval.

Mine are BMI 40, 18 years of age, IN Network Hospital and Surgeon, 2 cormo-.

Mine was BMI of 40 with no co morbidities OR

BMI of 35-39 with one co morbidity

Either way you must use an In Network surgeon and Hospital. I was approved in 8 days.

I too have UHC. Mine is through Delta Airlines. They had the same BMI requirements and also required a 6 month supervised diet plan, as well as, a psychological evaluation. I have completed those steps and now just have to find out what other tests/requirements my surgeon has.

Good luck to you!

Now with that being said........I met all the requirements however i was denied. waiting on a decision for my appeal
