Does anyone have United Healthcare in the WNY area??

Hello,
I had open RNY last January, however my husband is looking into having this done as well.  Unfortunately my surgeon will not take his insurance.  It seems like there are no bariatric surgeons in the WNY area that accept United Healthcare.

If you have any experience with this could you please give us any information?

Thanks in advance!

We are willing to go over an hour away into Rochester if needed, but were hoping to find something somewhat closer to the Buffalo area.

TIA!

HI, My name is Mary and I am from West Seneca. I am currently getting ready to see  Dr Alan Posner out of Sisters Hospital for bariatric surgery. I also have United Healthcare and he does take it. He has a very impressive record, having never lost a patient.  . He is very strict on the steps toward surgery, weight loss getting tests done etc, but once you do the things required of you the surgery is scheduled very quickly. I assume you had Dr Caruana, and Dr Posners reputation is pretty much along the same lines as Dr Caruana. I hope this helps. If you need anything else please let me know, Mary Keenen, [email protected]
