Humana, Choicecare, PPO. They approved me in less than a week. I had to move out of state, though, so I have to get an approval again, but I am fairly confident that I wont have any problems. Call 1-800-558-4444 and see if they can help you. Good luck!

I had CareFirst BlueChoice (a division of BlueCross) They have been excellent to work with. I was approved in 15 days. No significant co-morbs, 5' 8.5" and BMI of 44. The best thing about CareFirst is that you can buy the policy yourself (at least here in the MD & DC area) if you are self-employed, and they roll you into a large group. E-mail me if you want any more info! Good Luck to you!
