amsderb 1 Posted March 28, 2008 amsderb - from the time your doc submitted your paperwk for approval till the time UHC approval came through - how long was that? Hi...well first of all the lap band was just added to my policy effective 3/01/08! So, we waited to submit until 02/28/08...it got held up a bit due to the new language but was in review last week and I was notified 3/25.....the rep told me it would have been faster but she was trying to watch it so it didn't get denied due to the new language...she said she may have slowed it down a bit...but all in all about 22 days??? Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
