Re: Awaiting Insurance Approval

[Guest guest]

hi I am

I also have UHC and will be going for my psych eval and surg consult back to

back on Monday 05/10. Hoping I get approved, sounds like UHC is one of the

easier insurance companys would you agree?

I will be using the Bridges Center at St Lukes Hospital in Phoenix, Az. I am

praying

that it will be approved and also that it all goes well!!!

does anyone know what criteria UHC uses for approval?? I am still nervous about

all of this but pretty determined.

Today I went shopping with my daughters one of them turned 26 today, I was

almost in tears with the little walking I did, my feet swell up like balloons

and hurt

like heck. 316 lbs and 5'6 " 54 Years old 5 children and 15 grandchildren. Dr

says

I have chronic high blood pressure and strong family hx of diabetes and stroke.

Awaiting Insurance Approval

Dora

A co-worker whose BMI was 58 was denied the first time but approved the

second. Being a co-worker, we have the same insurance (UHC) written for the

same employer, etc. Another co-worker took two weeks. My pre-op BMI was only

37 and I was approved in 48 hrs. Go figure!
