UHC last minute asking for 5 year history

[desig1814 17]

I have united health care. I called to the the surgery requirements I was told a 6 moth dr visit w/in 2 years, psych eval, seminar, place of excellence, and so on. I've done everything they asked to a t. Today I got the date for my surgery a arch 24th but now they are asking for a 5 year weight history. The problem is that I didn't have health insurance for a couple of years so I only have 3 years of dr notes, I did do weight watchers in 2010 & 2011 but they didn't record on a computer & I cannot find my book! Anyone w the same issue?

Ugh, Weight Watchers should have some sort of record, even if they have your membership on file or see if they would be willing to write a letter stating you were active. Also, look for any date stamped pictures of yourself. They really want to see a history of obesity, so I think any supporting materials is better than nothing. If you have anything from before 2010, gynocologist, anything really send that too. Just to give a historical overview. And write out what your insurance situation was. If nothing else it will give you a solid argument if you have to appeal. Good luck!!

It looks like I don't need it! Should be getting the official approval soon!
