From Aetna to UHC, question about approval

[Misstxdiva 73]

Hey ya'll, new to the site. I'm nervous about my surgery. I'm with Aetna and have two last appointments before I get my papers sent off to get a op date BUT my company is switching to UHC in January so my worry is I'll have to wait two more months to get my sleeve. My body is in pain and I need this surgery pronto! Anyone know if UHC will honor my four months or make me do 6? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

hi, and welcome! i went through aetna but had a friend transfer insurances mid way through, and it actually worked in her favor because she didnt have the same requirements from her new insurance! i would print out the aetna requirements and print out your new insurance requirements and see what varies, but your steps you have taken so far should count and aetna was really fast at approving and scheduling me once my 6 months, psych eval, sleep apnea and other few appointments were completed. if you have any more questions about aetna or in general feel free to reach out! good luck ot you and what a perfect time of year to get the gift of a sleeve
