Have my physical today................

[Guest guest]

Hi group,

I have my physical today by my surgeon. I'm feeling really scared,

because the next step is the dreaded waiting for the insurance

company's answer. I'm literally feeling sick to my stomach, and I

haven't even been there yet.

I'm scared to death that United Health Care won't cover the BPD/DS

procedure, and that is what I so desperately want to have. I have no

exclusions in my policy, but I don't personally know of anybody who

has had this procedure done that has UHC.

Just feeling a need to vent............any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Hi Pam,

Good luck with your physical. I have United Healthcare Options PPO

and they covered my surgery. In fact, they approved me in less than

24 hours! I had my surgery on 02/06/01 and they have already paid

everyone involved. So, if you don't have an exclusion in your

policy, I wouldn't worry too much about it. United Healthcare is one

of the best!

Regards,

Pam,

It seems I've read about alot of people being cover by

UHC! So take heart and I'm sure you'll be approved

soon. Best of Luck, Angel
