Any one with United Health Care insurance



Recommended Posts

Hi Royals. No not yet, I saw my surgeon yesterday gave me what I need to take to my primary. I need Dr. Clearance & physiologist clearance, EKG & labs. After this they submitted to insurance. Nervous because I don't have any sick time at work and I have so many Dr. Appointments. But more then half way. Thanks

I have UHC.... 6 months medically supervised diet is required. They only pay for 5 with a nutritionist. I am still trying to find out if they will pay for a TT after its over.

I have uhc and was so stressed about them approving before six months but they did. I did meet the qualifications for the bmi and two co-morbidities. It took exactly two weeks to come back with an approval and I am so relieved now I think the nervousness is beginning to settle in. My advice. Be patient but stay on time of your requirements and if you are working with a CEnter of Excellence you should be good otherwise. Best of luck. I've been stalking this forum for months and finally ready to share

I have united healthcare. It only required me to have a BMI of 40 or more (no co morbidity required). See the nutritionist & psychologist twice. No six month diet, no 5 year weight history. Once all paperwork was submitted, it look 10 days for a response. It was pretty easy & fast. It took about 6-8 weeks from start to surgery date.

I called uhc and they said they don't show any files for me... So I called my coordinator and she said that the reps can not see out files that a nurse would have it ... But i remember when I went through this last time I was able to check my status.... So guess ill call my coordinator in the AM.....

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
