Each plan is different with UHC. I have it through my husbands union. I wasn't required to do any pre-op diet or anything special. The only thing my plan doesn't cover is visits with the dietician. I was approved with a BMI of 35, high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol. But again, every plan is different within their system.

I have UHC but more GEHA (government employees). Mine required a 6 month supervised diet along with documented exercise program. Once submitted, my approval was given in 2 weeks. They will cover at 85%, dietician also included.

Good luck!
