does anyone have uhc community plan that had or is having the sleeve procedure? wanna know your experience

Sorry to disappoint you, but, UHC community plan does not cover WLS according to my book. Good luck to you.

UHC didn't cover my sleeve. WLS is excluded from their plans.

Ook, my plan states 1yr documented failed treatments and cannot be cosmetic to get wls

I have UHC and am covered. Coverage of WLS is usually specific to your employer.

I too have UHC Community Plan and wondering the same as well. The rep wasn't much help when I called to inquire about wls. If you find out, please share. Thanks and best of luck!

Everyone's coverage depends on whether the employer decided they would pay for WLS or not. You have to call UHC and find out if it is a covered benefit for you or not. If not change insurance and pay for a plan that covers it. Or go self pay. If it is excluded these will be your only options.

It is a covered benefit, just wasn't too sure on all the requirements.

Uhc community plan told me you need to get a referral from your primary doctor first which I'm doing tomorrow then go from there

[alainagirl 4]

Hello again,

I was interested in the sleeve 2016 feb.

[craftygal77 22]

I have uhc community plan and it is a covered benefit, I am required to do a 12 month supervised diet and other pre-op testing before being submitted to insurance. I have gotten better info talking to the surgeons office as opposed to calling UHC.
