hi all... just wanted to know if anyone experienced my horror story...  i just came to find out my nutrition visits with heather are not covered. i have United Health, and suppose to have 5 visits a year...guess what, they paid them then asked for the money back saying it was a mistake on thier part, and now i am responsible for the visits out of pocket....

i am still fighting with them, which is a daily stuggle.... someone needs to hold me back before i jump through the phone...AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for letting me vent!

Hi Linda!!   Oh man!  Thats not right!   I have UHC and I pay a $20. copay.  I don't know what plan you have, but I would definetly check it out.  Its part of the necessary plan of the surgery.  Could it be the nutritionist?  Maybe they don't take UHC? I don't know, I don't use Heather.  But I know alot of people do.  I go to Nutrition Consultants on Cowesett Ave.   Good luck!  Hope you get this straightened out!

hmmm.. as eldy said, it might be your nutritionist. i go to the same office as eldy as well, and i've never had to pay. (i'm on a policy with no copays) so i would check into the kind of policy you have.. go to myuhc.com and it should explain everything.. or give them a call. they're usually pretty good at telling you what is and is not covered. good luck!
