A couple of questions regarding United Healthcare



Recommended Posts

Hi all! If you have United Healthcare I was wondering if you could tell me a few things. My first question is, did you have to go through a supervised diet before they would approve you? And my second question is, how long did it take you to get your approval?

I'm very anxious about my consultation coming up on Dec. 3rd, i'm just so ready to get this ball rolling so I can KNOW, I'm not good at being patient...lol. I've talked to the customer service people at UHC several times and have never got a straight answer to the supervised diet question, one person said it wasn't likely, one person said he's never seen a person have do one, and one person said it's case by case, and then someone else that doesn't work for UHC said they don't make you do one. How did it go for YOU??? :P

Thanks!

HI

I have UHC choice plus they don't require any type of diet plan, I have heard that UHC is the easiest to get approved I submitted my paperwork on 11/6/2007 waiting to be approved, all I needed was 5 year weight history and a BMI of 40 that's it good luck with everything

      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.
