I have united health care choice plus. I called them the other day and to ask if they covered WLS and they told me no, but on here Ive read several people being approved with UHC choice plus. I know other people who have UHC and it always seemed we had the better policy compared to my friends. I am wondering if there would be a better chance of them covering it if the doctors office called the insurance company? I have several medical things caused by obesity. Just looking for some advice.
Thanks
Thank you for the reply. Of course, I called customer service, and they referred me to the published information. While I'm doing the 3 month diet etc, my doc is having me go to the cardiologist etc in advance of submitting, just to make sure I don't have anything going on that my PCP wasn't aware of. My PCP is very good, so I don't think they'll find any thing.
Thanks

I'm starting the process to get the RNY done myself and I know here at campbell they only do the band and RNY.
If I remember right though during the class she said something about possibly getting different surgerys off post but then you have to deal with the insureance your self and co-pays.
Hopefully someone else comes along and can help you out a little better than I.
Hello,
I have HAP insurance through my husband’s job and I have been trying to get approved for surgery for at least 6 months. In that time I have gotten three different denial letters for this procedure. First time it was because I didn’t have enough information for them to review, so I sent them the information they were asking for! The second time is because they wanted my records from a doctor that I had been seeing in this weight loss program for over a year, I sent them that information! Now, this third time was because the doctor that I saw for over a year, they said that he “was not a hospital affiliated doctor." I have appealed three times and I don’t know what else to do or where to turn too!!! Is there anyone out there that can give any advice on what steps to take to get this approved!! I am in tears writing this letter and need help desperately!!! I will try anything!!!
Thanks,
Carol

Hi,
It sounds like you will be denied, unfortunately, because Aetna is very specific about meeting those requirements in order for them to approve the surgery. I have Aetna and myself and my three children were all approved, although we all had BMI's of well over 40 so we did not have to prove the specified co-morbidies.
I am sorry I don't know the answer to your questions, but I would be very curious as to the answer! Have you tried calling their Customer Service and asking?
Good Luck to you!
