United Healthcare Denials and Coverage

I am currently battling with UnitedHealthcare to get my Gastric Bypass Surgey covered by them. It seems I have a written exclusion clause in my policy. I was denied after my intial appeal letter an I am waiting for the appeal process to happen and get my case heard by the "Non Biased" panel. Any proof about UHC covering this surgery for someone with this written exclusion in their policy, would be greatly appreciated. My companies Insurance broker tells me that there isn't any policy that UHC offers that covers this. I need to prove them wrong and show them that UHC has covered this surgery in the past. Please help if you can!

I don't know if you have already been to this link, but here it is; http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/forums/insurance.phtml?ID=TR-999728933 It basically lists others who have UHC...I did read where one other person said there is no way around the exclusion..she even hired a lawyer. I wish you well on your journey! Maybe someone else has more insight to it! Good Luck!

Look at the profile for Cat Price. She had UHC, was denied, appealed and won. She won because of her comorbidities.
