I'm assuming UHC is United Healthcare. I had United Healthcare when I had my surgery, and yes, they did pay for it. They are a great insurance. I had United Healthcare POS at that time.

Same here, I also had UHC POS and had very minor problems with them getting to approve my gastric bipass surgery. It's alot of work getting everything together for approval and calling them frequently to check on the status of your review. If its something you really want then you must work hard sometimes to get things taken care of and squared away. Good luck.Jen:) 265.5/154

Some plans with UHC stopped paying for gastric bypass this year, but not mine. I had no problems getting approval.

I have UHC EPO, they approved my surgery & 2 co-workers within 3 1/2weeks.. 1 of us was about 100lbs overwieght & 2of us are more than 200lbs overweight w/diabetis. And there are a few more people @ my job waiting for approval. When I called UHC CS about it, the rep could only tell me it was pending I had to speak w/their TL to find out. I jump the gun the letter had already been mailed out. They were very nice about everything.
