T-19 Badgercare United Hmo....

Any one out there have T-19 Badgercare United Hmo and get approved? I have this and all I have been hearing is that it is next to impossible to get approved! Dr. Wu's office is sending out paperwork to insurance to get me approved, but I am stressing out thinking it wont happen!!! If any of you have BadgerCare and have gotten approved, please give me some hope! Thanks!

I have title 19 badgercare united healthcare hmo and got approved. I seen my surgeon on June 30th and was approved on July 13th. And had my rny on July 28th. I had to do the 6 month supervised diet.

Good luck! 

Really?! That is some good news! Congrats to you! Did you have alot of medical problems though? I dont really only a couple...arthritis, HBP, asthma, SVT (My heart beats to fast)...and that is about it besides Hypothyroidism...I hope they approve me! I am really suprised you got an approval that fast! I am keeping my head high...Thank you for the inspiration!

I have BadgerCare +, and my doctor's office said it would be better if I could keep the straight Title 19 (That's what you are in before they pick an HMO) I had filled out the form and was granted to stay in the straight title 19..They submitted my papers 10/22 and I was approved for a RNY 10/27  I am having surgery 12/2!

I am now 6 months out of surgery  with the rny.  I have t-19 and badgercare. I was so worked up because I was also told they never approve it. but on the first try they approved me! I just gave it a go and tried ,jumping through all the hoops they make you do. I figured i had nothing to lose(except the weight of course) if it's meant to be, it WILL happen. by the "weigh" I have lost 70 lbs in just under 6 months!
