Question:
Anyone else work for American express and have UHC EPO?

I was submitted over a week ago, I was told Friday it was pre-determined that I qualify. I am now waiting on approval. I called UHC care coordination yesterday and was told the sent an e-mail to client services to check on something in my policy, they could not tell if it was Amex client services or UHC client services. I had checked before this all started to make sure there was no exclusions on my polict. I was told as long as it is not cosmetic it there is no exclusions. I am getting nervous. Anyone else experience this?    — Stephanie B. (posted on May 9, 2002)

I was employed for several years with American Express. When I was there, they were utilizing UHC. My understanding was that AMEX was NOT self-insured, with all the determinations being in the hands of UHC. Could have changed...I had a breast reduction under the AMEX UHC plan, and it was covered without any questions at all. Don't know if this helps or not, just try not to worry. You'll probably get your approval in a few days!!
