Patti K 98 Posted May 21, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khollingworth 1 Posted May 21, 2013 As long as you have all the required sign-offs, the approval should be rather quick....1 week with Aetna, not sure about UHC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slave to Senor Sleeve 40 Posted May 21, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
