UHC 6 month PCP visits
I have United Health Care through the state. I know there are some others on our board. I am hoping for some advice.
I started my 6 month PCP supervised diet on June 30. Everything is going great. My sixth month will be November. I am trying to have the surgery before the end of the year.
I know I have to do sixth months, consecutively. I have not seen it written it has to be 180 days. I think most people assume it is though.
My plan is to have the last PCP diet visit around Nov. 12th. I called my coordinator, Dorothy and asked her if it had to be 180. She said it does not..it just has to be consecutive.
I discussed my plan with Dr. Macik's office and they thought I could have the surgery before the end of the year.
Anyone who has my insurance have any thoughts? I know I have seen posts about this, but no one with the same insurance.
Thanks

I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY NOT. JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET IN AT LEAST 1 VISIT PER MONTH!

Kathy in my coordinator. I make sure I write down everything she says and what date and time she said it. She's really helpful and nice, but I document everything just to be safe. I hear from so many people at the supports groups of problems with their coordinators or behavioral nurses. I just want to have all my ducks in a row when the time comes.
Hi I have the same insurance. Yes it is 6 month in a row....I am good with my pcp diet. I go see her each month. The six months of meeting slowed me down. I will finish with the doctor in Sept. but not woth meetings till October. I am want my surgery done in December. The closest meeting I could find is 100 miles away at the hospitialI where I am having surgery. My nurse that calls me is Kathy. Let me know if you find out any other details. Thanks
