United Healthcare - Still Waiting On Approval ...

[Mela 6]

I have UHC and was required to do 6 month weight monitoring, psych eval, letter from PCP supporting the surgery and meeting with dietician. Once everything was done and submitted, the approval came within a few days. I was okay with the 6 month wait cause it forced me to make sure that the surgery was best for me.

Good morning everyone

Does anyone have smart choice insurance in las vegas? If so how long did it take for approval

I was given the green light about 7 months ago. I started the process and paid a ton of money in appointment and medicine. Yesterday was my surgery day August 24th but about a week before I was contacted by the health insurance that they were not going to pay for the surgery. I was on the phone daily even until yesterday trying to get my approval done but nothing was done. Emotionally Ibeen a mess and in all honesty to the point were I was feeling like if I was going to have a stroke. This insurance company is the worst I have ever seen. How can they play with your emotions, approve and then chose to say they wont pay for it 7 months of the most stupid process I have ever seen. At this point I am here seven months later and a day after my surgery appointment stress and with no operation. At this point I am in contact with a lawyer to take them to court for all the money I spent, time I took off and emotional issue I now deal with thanks to this company. To you moving forward I tell you to get as much in writing from them. This company all is does is charge your monthly fee for a insurance that they do not want to then pay for services. After researching I found out that they have a huge lawsuit in federal court. I have reach out to that same lawyer to see if they will represent me also.
