paper work submitte to UHC



Recommended Posts

The Dr's office submitted my paper work today to UHC. My insurance covers this surgery if I meet their criteria. My BMI is 39.8 weight 197 and am 4"11. I have high blood pressure and sleep ap. Do you think I'm a good candidate for the insurance to pay. I'm really excited.

I would say YES! I have UHC with a BMI over 40 and no co-morbidities and they are covering it. I was told also with a BMI between 35-39 and one co-morbidity they would cover it.

Good Luck and don't give up!

I think you have a great chance :biggrin: Don't take offense to my next statement...but you're lucky for being short! My best friend is about 5" and she lost 30lbs so far and it looks like she's lost 60! Good luck to you!!!!

I would think you would be covered if you have everything in the file when they sent it in. You should know somthing within 30 days. We were approved in less than 30 days.

I have UNC and I got approved, but there was a lot of hoops I had to go through because of my Employer. I had to have 6 months of weigh ins from a Dr. and I had to get a Psych evaluation then I had to meet with the surgeon and get his approval. After that my UMH paid out.

      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.
