Question:
How long do you have to have insurance before they will cover the surgery?

A friend asked me about the surgery and she wanted to know . How long do she have to be covered before she can have the surgery? She just enrolled with United Health care.    — Cynthia H. (posted on March 31, 2001)

By law, as long as there wasn't a lap in insurance, she cannot be denied for a pre-existing condition. My sister's husband changed jobs. As soon as she was in the computer at UHC, they approved it.
