UnitedHealth Care Choice Plus, longest wait?

[butterfly2014 128]

My information was submitted to UHC on 3/11, and surprisingly, surgery was approved on 3/12. I'm in shock but so thankful.

Wow!!! Congrats, I hope I get that lucky!

I have UHC Choice Plus. They take their sweet time on everything. I just recently had back surgery, it took almost 3 weeks for them to approve it. When I found out they had not approved it yet, I was on the phone with their clinical specialist department everyday. They ended up putting a rush on my case. I plan on doing to the same when my wls paperwork is submitted too. They were even nice enough to call me when my case was approved.
