United Heath Care

Howdy , Does anybody know if United Heath care covers VSG. My brother  told me yesterday that he is ready to have the sleeve. If United does not cover it I will write the check my brother means more to me that 10k. does.....  Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving... God Bless

I have United Healthcare and VSG was an option for me.  However, whether or not your brother's plan will cover it is dependent upon his employer. His best bet it to call them and see if his employer has purchased the "Bariatric Resource Service" through UHC. If so, he will be assigned a case manager that will walk him through the entire process including fast tracking the approval once all the paperwork is in. 

Good luck!!  

United is one of three Insurance companies that actively support VSG as a viable alternative to the RNY. In their book it's past the stage of exploratory surgery.

All that's left is to find out if your brothers particular plan covers that particular surgery.


Good luck
