United Health Care PPO

Who has United Health Care PPO and what problems did you run into getting approved for WLS?

I don't have UHC but if you know the requirements of your plan and you can meet them then you should have no issue. Good luck!

I have United Healthcare but each persons coverage can vary. I contacted UHC in advance and asked about coverage and requirements. In the end I decided it would be best for me to just pay cash for the surgery (I didn't want to delay the process by doing the required 6 months supervised diet).

Good luck with your journey!

Where did you have your surgery done?

I have United Healthcare but my company does not cover weight loss surgery at all. So, it is self pay for me!

@@Chylyn7 haven't had my surgery yet but completed all my surgeon requirements last week and should get my surgery date this week! Will probably be the first or second week in August!

I am having it done by Dr. Kim in Colleyville, Texas.
