I know every policy is different, but has anyone gotten an approval first time around with UHC?  I verified the policy has no hoops to jump through, but still anxious regardless.

I had my approval on the first letter.. I had hoops..  There are alot of people I know at work with my same policy and everyone has been approved the first time. Good luck..

I have UHC and was approved right off the bat.  I went to the first class 7/26 and was approved by the end of August.  Had my surgery 10/5 ( they wanted to do it in the middle of Sept. but I had prior work commitments)  No hoops to jump through.

I have UHC.....my plan is the CDHP. I had to meet requirements such as bmi over 40 with no comorbities, and have 5 yrs weight history, then had to do a six month supervised diet..... But after it was finished we submitted and I was approved. still surreal to me, surgery is supposed to be Tuesday... I wish you luck!

I think that UHC was very easy to work with. Again,every policy is different, but they were specific in what they wanted and quick to approve. I made certain that I and not the surgeon's office got everything ready and submitted so that I was certain it was complete (and besides the office staff in my surgeon's office are a bunch of dumba$$ and would have screwed it up, I'm certain). Be sure you understand what they want and get it to them. I was easily qualified due to my BMI and comorbidities. I don't really know how tough it might have been if I had been borderline. And remember that you must advocate for yourself. Certainly the surgeon's office wold like to get it approved, but they do not have the same interest in doing so as you do.

 i was approved within days of my paper work being submitted, i actually did not even know they had sent it in yet when i got the call
