Hi looking for info on UHC insurance

[CBT 450]

Two days with UHC! They called me as well as drs office. I was do freakin happy and terrified. Lol. Congratulations to you newly approved! OP it really could be Monday...Er...Tuesday if Monday is a holiday for them?

About four days - if its been a few call and ask if you can have it escalated

I was approved at the end of last year. Took a little over 3 weeks. Calling didn't make much of a difference for me. Good luck!!

I called UHC today and I guess my file? Was submitted on Tuesday but the person I spoke with on the phone said my dr did not submit any clinical documentation?? Why does everything have to be difficult? Guess I'll be calling my drs office Monday morning.

CarrieP, that is exactly why you should call. You found out what needs to be done. I do not like to leave my destiny in the hands of others. Keep calling and stay on top of it. I called every morning and afternoon. I found out when I called that I was approved. If I had waited for a call from my surgeons office, It probably would have been 24 hours later. I don't think my nerves would have handled it. Good luck.....

My dr office submitted on Tuesday and I had verbal approval on Friday. However my dr office wouldn't schedule me until they received written approval which took a few more days. All in all I had a smooth process and so far I am loving my sleeve! I was sleeved on February 5 and am down from 254 hw 245 pre op and currently 228. Good luck to all it is definitely worth it. Don't get discouraged with the insurance. Just keep pushing them for an answer!

All my paper work is in. You must be proactive!!! I spoke to the same receptionist for the past two weeks about sending my stress test to my surgeons office. 3 times she had the WRONG NUMBER!!! DUUHHH!!! The last time I spoke to her I waited on the phone while she faxed it!!! Well I have done everything, now I have to HURRY UP AND WAIT!!!! I will give them 1 week then I will be calling!!! The surgeons office said it could take up to 40 days!!!!! WHAT???? UHC??? I hope not!!! Please God let me be approved!!! No surprise hoops from UHC!!!

I called them everyday -- we double and triple checked the medical plan documents... My requirements were not stringent as compared to what others shared. I hope they tell you soon I was going crazy
