UHC Denied
Yes, my daughter was denied due to her insurance, UHC. The reason being is that the "plan" that was chosen for her group .. "excludes surgical and non-surgical" for weight loss/obesity. The Broker said that because the group is only 5 members, UHC won't include the gastric bypass; that the group has to have 1,000 members. I think that is B.S. -- but I don't know what to do now. We wrote the 1st appeal letter .. and there is something there that says we can do a SECOND LEVEL REVIEW .. but I'm thinking if the insurance says NO for that reason, they are not going to pay. We've tried to get $ numbers as to how much it would cost as a self-pay and they seem to be reluctant even to providing us that option. I guess I need a "lawyer" to help me with proceeding further.
