Question Pacificare - United Healthcare Choice Plus Network

Does anyone know if Pacificare - UHC pays for gastric bypass and/or lap band surgery?

I have Pacificare HMO, they paid for my laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery with only $250 hospital admission fee in July 2006. Hope that helps.

Default United Healthcare

United Healthcare is one of the easiest to approve GBS...just by BMI!! I had Healthnet HMO...they wanted me to do a 6 month medically supervised "liquid" diet and pay for it out of my pocket. So, I switched to United Healthcare...received my insurance cards on 01/02/07...called made my appointment with Dr. Mueller that same day...Channelle set my appointments with Dr. Upton (internal medicine), Dr. Mueller (surgeon), and a psychiatrist for 01/26/07...at my appointment with Dr. Mueller, I picked out my surgery date!! It was like a dream!!
