United Healthcare and obtaining out of network exceptions
« on: May 16, 2013, 05:41:31 am »
I live in NC and have UHC. I was recently diagnosed with AN and referred to Drs Oliver (in network ) and Dr Fukushima (out of network). I have my consults coming up soon and started the process of requesting out of network coverage exception approval for Dr F. He has preformed over 1000 AN surgeries whereas the other doctor is recently completing his fellowship and less experienced . I want to go to a surgeon who has lots of experience, high rate of hearing preservation, record of low complications , and reduced recovery time. Any advice on how to get approval for united healthcare out of network to be an exception ? Thanks  :)
