Question:
DOES ANYONE IN HOUSTON, TX HAVE UNITED HEALTH CARE

If so how would you rate UHC and where is your place of employment, so I can get a job there (smile) Yes I am desperate.    — mischief85 (posted on March 16, 2002)

I work for SBC Southwestern Bell and we have United HealthCare Select Plus POS. I had a choice of any Bariatric surgeon in their network. That was about 4-5 in the Dallas area, 4-5 in the Houston area and 2 in San Antonio. I did not need a referal from my PCP, I just made the appointment myself with the In Network physician. I think UHC is fantastic. My whole surgery cost me a $20 co pay for the surgeon's consultation appointment,a $20 co pay to my PCP to get all the tests run and a $35 Inpatient co pay to the hospital. You have to work there 1 year before you are covered by FMLA, then you get full pay for your 6 weeks disability and it doesn't hurt your attendance record. Yes, it is sweet!
