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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
