UHCers - Where do I find this?



Recommended Posts

My surgeons office submitted my preapproval request two days ago. I keep getting on the uhc website, myuhc.com, to see if it will show me they are looking at it or have even received it and am not able to find anything. I am not very familiar with that site and want to know what section I should be looking in. Maybe I am missing it?

I have UHC - I never saw anything on their website before I was approved. It took about 2-3 weeks, but they did approve me and paid for everything (except the deductable) without any problems.

There is nothing on the website. The best thing is to call every couple of days. I was approved in 4 days. My best friend was able to find out if they didn't have something they needed before the drs office my calling so often. It still took her 2-3 months for approval with the same insurance, but different employer.

Good luck.

It took uhc 3 weeks to actually recieve the fax from my doctor. I called them about every few days in the past few weeks, got transferred so many times, it was very frustrating!! Finally I found out yesterday they recieved the fax, so now I am waiting for approval. I am going to call them again at the end of the week. Word of advice, everytime you call write down the day time who you talked to and number you called, I didn't do that until the last couple calls, it would have been helpful because everyone was telling me something different.

      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.
