I have UHC. But there are different versions of the plan and they vary. I have UHC choice. My plan required a Center of Excellence surgeon and hospital and a 5 year history of weight loss. My surgeon required a lot more. Once the surgeon had everything they required, the approval only took a few days. UHC also provides you with a nurse that follows up with you and answers any question you may have. It is a good service.
