How long did it take for them to approve you? I've been waiting for 11 days I've heard people getting approved a lot sooner. I called today and they said it was still being looked over.

I'm curious with this too. I have UHC too and am hoping I don't have to wait that long. I'm not very patient. I still have one more month of my 6 month waiting period.

About a week for me. My doctors office had a lady that handled all the insurance stuff and she didn't mind calling them about it.

It took 7 days for me. My Dr. office originally stated they didn't receive a yes/no approval from UHC, so I called. I was approved and also had a chance to get full details of my coverage (i.e. hospital room type, coverage limitations, hospital copay).

My uhc case manager did state that she was out of the office when my paperwork came threw maybe that's the set back? Idk I'm not very patient either think I'm going to call tomorrow again and speak with my case manager. I hate the waiting game especially after doing all these different things in order to get it submitted. Ugh..

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
