Has anyone had experience with United health care?

I have united healthcare. I have a 6 month preup diet that I'm currently doing.

I've done that, I'm just waiting for it all to be submitted. I had my consult yesterday. Mine isn't really a prep-op first that I had to do it was just 6 months of physician supervised dieting within the last two years

I have UHC choice plus. I didn't have to do the 6month diet. Mine was submitted on the 03/10 and I had an approval by noon on 03/11. Surgery is next Monday. Fingers crossed that you get a fast approval too!

My packet was submitted on a Friday morning and I had a response by the next Monday evening! I just had MY RNY on the 29th of March. Hoping for a quick and easy approval!

My approval through UHC took 2 weeks. Surgery is scheduled for 4/14. Hope you get your approval soon!

Wow, so UHC seems pretty quick. I'm hoping I have good news soon!!

If all of your Is are dotted and Ts are crossed, response time from UHC should be quick. If anything is out of place, though... (UHC Plus so no pre-op diet but took three months to approve because they kept needing more paperwork. Approval took less than two weeks from when the final paperwork was submitted.)

[vandernoordh 63]

Next Thursday will be my two week mark since submitting...feels more like 2 months lol

@vandernoordh I also have the 6 months within the past 2 years. Did you use Dr visits? Most all my visits talk about diet and weight loss. The nurse said I would be able to use those? Just curious how yours worked?

Mine took exactly the 2 weeks with UHC! Once that comes it will go fast though!

Crazyheart14 mine were specifically for weigh loss. The insurance coordinator at your surgeons office would be able to tell if the documentation by your PCP is sufficient for the 6 month requirement.

I went through the 6 mos requirements, had all my paperwork in order and once submitted it took exactly 2 wks. I'm in Maryland and surgery date is May 10th.

I have united healthcare and it only took a week for me to get approved, I just had my gastric bypass on the 22nd
