jen_1381 446 Posted August 15, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Domika03 309 Posted August 15, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
