I had united health care and my manual said that they wouldn't cover anything that was weight loss related. I couldnt even go to a dietician. My doctor wrote a letter and I got the same answer from the company. It must depend on which United you have and what the policy is. I ended up changed insurance company's to Humana and was approved within weeks without jumping through any hoops.
