Vickie - Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. May God hold you and your surgery team in his precious hands. I too, am a patient of Dr. Brader's - have been working with his office since February! You are lucky you have UHC-POS, because any other UHC policy isn't going to approve you. I had UHC-HMO and was denied three times. I'm now switching to BCBS 12/1 and we're hoping for a quick approval. Please keep in touch with me after your surgery. Good Luck!!
