jtickle 295 Posted August 3, 2014 Jtickle.....how long was the process for u from first seminar to approval for surgery I started on March 3rd of this year and was submitted to insurance in mid April, found out I was approved on April 29. They actually submitted my paperwork a little late because the insurance coordinator was gone for a week. 1 Flygirl123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenn B. 4 Posted August 11, 2014 I have UHC thru my husbands company, and am hoping for a quick approval. I know that it is covered on his insurance and I meet the criteria. they do require a 6 month doctor supervised weight program, but I have been seeing a doctor in KY every other month since last April, so I am hopeful doing that and the 3 months with Dr. Custer that they will approve it and not make me do an additional 3 months. I really want the surgery before the end of this year, so fingers crossed please. 2 Flygirl123 and Jammil0411 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhood2005 17 Posted August 12, 2014 Ok, not trying to be a dummy here, but everyone has signed off on approving me, the psych. doctor, the insurance case manager, the bariatric case manager, they all talk like I'm approved, I know everything has been submitted to the insurance company, but all professionals I talk with at the bariatric center act like its a go, just a matter of setting a surgery date, what do they know that I don't know, no one has contacted me telling me everything is approved, signed off on. Please anyone with any input, advice, etc, I don't know what to expect, if I should get excited or what, thanks. I have United Healthcare Plus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jammil0411 17 Posted August 13, 2014 I have United Medicare Complete. I have done all my pre-op checks and now they are submitting my case to insurance. I don't know how long that will take. I'm still in the wait and see game. 1 Flygirl123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
