Wondering if anyone used UHC and see how long they take on approvals? My file was submitted yesterday. It contains a paych sign off NUT sign off Dr referral, and orthopedic dr referral. Any guesses?

As long as you have all the required sign-offs, the approval should be rather quick....1 week with Aetna, not sure about UHC

I was approved in a week. Just make sure you given them everything they want. You should call UHC and ask to speak to the bariatric resource nurse. They will guide you well in terms of your requirements and will prescreen you.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
