glitterpockets 85 Posted November 15, 2015 Just curious to see if anyone has been approved or denied with this insurance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotmamaSC 5 Posted December 17, 2015 Hey! I have UPMC bk my employer is in Pitt but I live in SC. I haven't been submitted yet to the insurance waiting in my psych eval but would be very interested to hear your experience and how long approval took. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorie269 392 Posted December 17, 2015 I have UPMC but it is a different plan (EPO). I had no problems getting approval for my surgery back in 2013. A few days after the center sent the authorization I called UPMC and they told me I was already approved. It was painless. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glitterpockets 85 Posted January 2, 2016 My final appt was Dec 28th and I asked my doctor about it. I told her I was nervous I'd be denied. She said she doesn't really ever see disapproval from upmc for you insurance as long as u meet all the requirements. They said I should hear something this week. Normally they get back fast but due to the holiday it is prolonged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesky1 191 Posted January 9, 2016 Hi Glitterpockets, Just checking in to see if you were approved? I've been thinking about you since your last post. I was approved through United Health Care Community plan on the first try (I Switched from UPMC for you because my BMI and sleenapnea were really close to the lowest I could be). I am Sooo relieved. Hope al is well, and praying for an approval for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
