Uhc Waived The 6 Month Waiting Period

[TexasJeff 179]

If you have UHC they may waive the 6 month waiting period.

I saw my Dr last August 10 or there about, had my surgery Sept 20.

The total bill was $63,000. My part, $0

Wonder why self pay is generally under $20,000 and insured is $50,000+???

Sounds like what's wrong with America's medical system. My self pay is just about 11k.

What made them waive the 6 months waiting period? Was it bc you BMI was high?

Does that apply to the UHC Community Plan? My sister has that one but she can't find a surgeon that would take her insurance. Any suggestions in NJ would be greatly appreciated.

I have UHC and they did not require a 6 month for me...not sure why but was VERY HAPPY!!!

[mufasas-mom 170]

lucky you....I have UHC and still have to do the 6 month - but 5th appt is on July 2, then August 3rd is last appointment and i think i see the surgeon then - then it's the waiting game while they send all the data to UHC for approval (I've already contacted the bariatric group within my insurance program so I'm all set there). So I am hoping to have the surgery late August or early Sept. Would love to drop 30 pounds by the time the holidays roll around - maybe I'll even allow my picture to be taken...ha ha.

I have UHC and I had to do the 6 month restricted process. They also screwed me over by making a clerical error which 'delayed' my initial surgery of June 13th, took them a month to get it straightened out. I am scheduled for surgery Wednesday, July 25th.
