UHC

Just wondering if someone can help me out there..... I have UHC and when i contacted them about WLS they stated it is not a covered procedure through my group plan.  Does this mean it is a for sure NO....or can it be apprealed?  I dont want to procede only to have the door completly shut in my face. THANKS!!

Generally speaking, if it's not a covered procedure you are not going to have much luck.  It it's on with medical necessity, you have a chance.  Talk to a case manager at UHC to be sure of the terminology. 

thank you for the reply.  my husband has bcbs and i know his will cover if worse came to worse we could use his plan.  my mom had the surgery in dec.  she is doing great....in fact, i see you know my friend Jesi from Dubuque....her and i were best friends growing up....like sisters actually.  i am not sure how serious i am about it....i work in respiratory care and see the benefits that people have had from the surgery....... thanks!!
