Cigna OAP require 3 or 6 month for approval
Luckyinluv replied to JacobsMommy's topic in Insurance & Financing
Cigna said all they needed was a medical clearance letter so we faxed it to them and my surgeon said we may not hear from them for two weeks! Well guess what??? I am going to call everyday!!! If they only need one paper then I don't think it should take two weeks! -
Update: insurance wants a letter of medical clearance from dr. So I got that faxed to them and they said it could be another two weeks before I hear anything!! Over one paper?? My surgeons office said they would call me as soon as they heard!! If all they wanted was medical clearance wouldn't it be approved? And not take 2 full weeks?

She called me back and told me she is my advocate and will be calling insurance today and speak with the supervisor. She said they need to understand I did everything right and I pay my premiums.

Hi have you heard from insurance yet? I called surgeon yesterday and no response so I just think I will call Gain. Not sure if they fully understand our anxiety!! Just throw me a bone!! Lol Insurance said they did not receive clinical papers but they did. I just don't know what the hold up is. Did ur dr tell you why the long wait? Did u have to resubmit everything? -

January for me too! That's when I had my first dr weight check. In the beginning I was hoping for a late may surgery but now I guess June would be nice. Lol my son graduates June 8 and was wanting it done before then. Everyday I pray with my husband it will be approved. They have had it three weeks Monday! -

Waiting for my surgery date....
Luckyinluv replied to ktucker1979's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Well my surgeon office sent all paperwork to Insurance the same day they got it but I am going bonkers on waiting for the insurance. They claimed they didn't receive everything which is not true so my dr had to call and make the supervisor look at it so everyday May surgery I was hoping for is getting later. Still having high hopes and trusting The Lord!!! Patience is NOT my friend!!! -
All my paperwork is at insurance. Hope to hear approval news anyway!! Can't wait for surgery date. Maybe beginning of June!

Revision 1.5 yrs after band removal
Luckyinluv replied to meledl's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
After my band removal is worked my booty of to keep the 130 I lost at bag. Here i am 300 pounds of gaining it all back waiting for RNY approval from insurance. Frustrated and feeling like a failure. My dr convinced me to do RNY because of scare tissue and if had did sleeve my Stomach would not do good from scare tissue being in the way. So here I do for round two!! -
After talking with insurance and my dr. I have found out the I had 35 pages of why I need this surgery. Insurance says none of my clinical papers were there but my dr. Called and made sure they were and so the supervisor is reviewing it herself. My dr thinks they just didn't want to look at all 35 pages and told me this has been happening too often. So I call back next week. Praying hard and trusting The Lord!!
