I have Option PPO and they approved everything except for about $1700. They were a little slow in getting the approval, but once I was approved everything went smoothly. My policy has a WLS exclusion unless there is a diagnosis of morbid obesity,

My wife and I have uhc ppo . They approved my surgery, which was on oct 1 03. My wife just got her approval and will have surgery march 8. They are slow but pay pretty well. I have a seondary insurance so I had no out of pocket expensss. We will have to pay 2000 for my wifes surgery. Uhc is good to deal with.

SORRY, BUT MY HUSBAND HAS UHC OPTIONS PPO AND THERE IS A WRITTEN EXCLUSION FOR WLS. IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT THE EMPLOYER CHOSE TO COVER. THEREFORE, I HAVE DECICED TO SELF PAY. I HAVE WLS IN MEXICO WITH DR AGUIRRE ON MAY 11, 2004 FOR $8500.00. YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT
