sroan05 27 Posted April 17, 2013 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..... When you call UHC, say "prior authroization" at the beginning of the phone call and they will route you to the people who will know. If they're still not able to tell you anything, ask for a nurse coordinator. Got approved today yesss so happy & nervous Congrats!!!!! I know the feeling well! I bounce between feeling nervous and anxious. Lol. I was approved the same day my paperwork was submitted--March 29th. Just got my surgery date scheduled yesterday! Reality is creeping up on me! Good luck! 3 forteza, Erica2013 and royalsecret reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtower97 28 Posted April 24, 2013 Hey everybody! I have UHC. My coordinator should have submitted everything yesterday. I emailed her and asked if she did, no answser back yet. So I am in limbo I guess. I didn't think about calling UHC and seeing if they have it. I will have to give it a try! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meltinmocha1966 0 Posted April 26, 2013 One more week finally to see if I'm aproved Hey everybody, I'm new to all this. I have United Health Care but don't know what my requirements are yet. I've been researching bariatric procedures for over 10 years & have seen all kinds of results. I'm praying to make it to the "approval round" this time around.

ShrinkingBiker 121 Posted April 27, 2013 I have UH.. I'm a bit stressed as I just got aletter from them with their payout info.. and they are saying I owe 10,000 because the surgery was not approved.. My doctor said it was, and when I called a while back the lady said I was.. I am really praying that this is some sort of error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2Big2Skate 328 Posted May 2, 2013 I am just starting the process with UHC. They are telling me I need the 6 month supervised diet. I've had my consultation and first nutritionist meeting. A lady from my surgeon's office told me to call and request a case manager at UHC or something. I have 5 years established history with my PCP of BMI over 40. She thinks with that I can get it down to 3 months MWM. WIsh me luck! Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
