Help Appealing UHC



Recommended Posts

Hey guys!!

Has anyone appealed their denial and won the appeal ? If so, could you please send me a copy of the letter that you used or tell me a great website that helps people with appealing. I was denied because my BMI in 2007 was a 39.....unbelievable. I think I may have a case because my PCP said my height was 5'2 and the surgeon's office had 5'3 recorded which is what the insurance company based the numbers on.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Sweetiepie - Go to the insurance and financing section of the board. There are a lot of people who have posted their appeal letters to that board. Good luck on your appeal!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
