Question:
Those of you that have United Health Care PPO who has had Plastic surgery

I just want to know if you had plastic surgery for your tummy and boobs and how hard was it to get approved.My husband works for Allstate and has great coverage but I'm afriad to call since they document everything. Thanks By the way i was not covered under this policy when i had gastric.    — sarah C. (posted on October 31, 2002)

United is pretty good about approvals as long as it is not for cosmetic reasons but medical. I just got approved in a couple weeks for a panniculectomy and tummy tuck. They approved my gastric bypass in three days. I also have a friend who has United PPO also and got her tummy tuck approved in 2 days. Don't know about the boobs though.
