UHC approval time

[Ktigger92 30]

I have submitted my letter of medical necessity along with proof of 6 months of physician supervised weight loss and my report from sparkpeople showing my intake and activity for the last 6 months. I am curious as to how long until UHC approves my surgery. Any ideas?

after 4 mts of weight loss visits my insurance cigna took 2 weeks to approve. it felt like FOREVER and yet at the same time when i got the call saying it was approved i felt like i was not ready. i have a surgery date of Sep 19th i could have gone on the 13th but at the time they called i was so shocked i'd been approved (had convinced myself they'd say no) that it was not enough time etc. now i'm like rats have to wait another week what was i thinking..

good luck on your journey
