6 month supervised diet United health care community
In CT, United does not cover WLS at all....probably need to call your carrier directly to see what your plan covers :)
are you sure it is not just your plan that doesn't cover it at all? I find it hard to believe that some of the really big companies in CT don't cover it.
I have had two different UHC policies with different requirements. Through my husband old job, they required 6 months supervised diet.
My husband switched jobs last October and the new policy is also UHC. This one only required that I show a diagnosis of morbid obesity for 5 years. I had my PCP print out my annual visit for the past 5 years. I was approved quickly.
Good luck!

Same here - I have UHC through my employer. It took 2 days to get approval from the surgeon's office. It depends on which plan you have.
