likemeagain 5 Posted November 22, 2013 Does anyone have any experience with this plan? I'm switching to it effective January 1st. I know it covers bariatric surgery but I don't know what guidelines need to be met yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hevans 3 Posted November 26, 2013 Each policy is different and it can also vary from state to state. In general UHCs policy is pretty open. You must have a BMI of over 40 for a period of at least 5 years and demonstrate that you have tried other options and these have failed. If your BMI is under 40 then you need to have specific co-morbidities. If you search United Health Care Bariatric Surgery Policy you can read it and see if there are additional qualifications for your state. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
