I have BLUE HMO now thru federal gov't and am THINKING of switching to UHC since Blue's premium went up to $214/bi weekly! UHC is comperable but $111/bi weekly. Anyone have lap band experience w/UHC, specifically FEHB? Any and all comments appreciated!:help:

I do not know about UHC. I am a federal employee in MD and what I did was to call or email (preferred for a copy of their reply) each plan to see if they would cover the band and what requirements they had. I know GEHA covers but has a high co pay. I went with GEHA and it cost me a lot out of pocket. I am changing to an HMO this yeat and here in MD MDIDP is an UHC company and have heard great things from other that have this plan. I hope this helps. You can also do some searched on Lapbandtalk for federal ins plans and see what pops up. Good Luck BarbaraC
